2026 GLOBAL RISK Map

Countries classified as Extreme Risk are actively engaged in conflict, while also experiencing severe criminal activity and civil unrest. These countries are insecure; state institutions are too weak to manage militant groups or large-scale disasters.

Countries classified as High Risk experience regular conflict, criminal activity, or civil unrest. These countries have weak institutions and are incapable of effectively managing crises.

Countries classified as Medium Risk are not fully secure. Political instability and inadequate law enforcement make these countries vulnerable to criminality and sporadic unrest. State institutions are often ill-equipped to manage crises.

Countries classified as Moderate Risk are considered resilient. These countries are capable of quickly and effectively managing most crises and threats to personal security, but criminal activity, terrorism, and natural disasters can impact travel or in-country operations.

Countries classified as Low Risk are considered highly stable. These countries maintain a strong rule of law and are capable of containing threats to safety and security.

Countries or territories classified as Extreme Risk often host one or more internationally designated terror organizations and routinely experience terror attacks. Terror organizations often control or administer pockets of territory in Extreme Risk countries.

Countries or territories classified as High Risk are frequently targeted for attacks by terrorist organizations or lone wolf attackers and have experienced multiple successful attacks in the past several years with high casualties.

Countries or territories classified as Medium Risk are sometimes targeted for attacks but have experienced relatively few successful attacks in recent years.
