Singapore has risen to another win to become the sixth most peaceful country in the world according to a report by the Global Peace Index (GPI) 2023. The country improved from the ninth position it was situated in last year to sixth position this year by the GPI rating.
The report said 99.7 per cent of the world’s population was considered within 163 countries in the world by GPI, measuring the index level of peacefulness across three main factors which are the level of Societal Safety and Security; the extent of Ongoing Domestic and International Conflict; and the degree of Militarisation.
The reports said further that within a year the total average level of peacefulness worldwide dropped by 0.42 per cent. This has been said to be unfortunately marking the ninth year that global peacefulness has declined.
Generally, peacefulness improved in 84 countries and deteriorated in 79. However, the scores indicate that the deterioration in peacefulness is generally larger than the improvements, the reports said.
Additionally, citing the Asia-Pacific region, it is worth noting that there has been a slight increase of 0.32 per cent in the level of peacefulness in this year's GPI. This slight boost in peacefulness is a result of improvements in both safety and security, as well as reduced militarization. This positive shift can be attributed to factors such as a decrease in violent demonstrations and an increase in funding for UN peacekeeping efforts.
In this year's rating, the country that tops the index in the region is New Zealand, seconded by Singapore, and then Japan.
According to the GPI, the following are the top 10 most peaceful countries in the world and their scores as of 2023;
• Iceland (1.124)
• Denmark (1.31)
• Ireland (1.312)
• New Zealand (1.313)
• Austria (1.316)
• Singapore (1.332)
• Portugal (1.333)
• Slovenia (1.334)
• Japan (1.336)
• Switzerland (1.339)
新加坡成為全球第六大最和平國家—全球和平指數調查報告
根據 2023 年全球和平指數 (GPI) 的報告，新加坡再次獲勝，成為世界上第六個最和平的國家。該國的排名從去年的第九位上升到今年的第六位。GPI 評級。
該報告稱， GPI 考慮了世界上 163 個國家的 99.7% 的人口，衡量三個主要因素的和平指數水平：社會安全和治安水平； 持續的國內和國際衝突的程度； 以及軍事化程度。
報告進一步指出，一年之內，全球整體平均和平水準下降了 0.42%。 不幸的是，今年已經是全球和平惡化的第九年了。
總體而言，84 個國家的和平狀況有所改善，79 個國家的和平狀況惡化。報告稱，然而，分數顯示和平狀況的惡化程度普遍大於改善程度。
此外，以亞太地區為例，值得注意的是，今年GPI的和平程度則小幅上升了0.32%。 和平程度的小幅提升是安全保障改善以及軍事化減少的結果。 這一正向轉變可歸因於暴力示威減少和聯合國維和行動資金增加等因素。
在今年的排名中，該地區指數最高的國家是紐西蘭，其次是新加坡，然後是日本。
根據 GPI，以下是截至 2023 年世界上最和平的 10 個國家及其得分；
