UCDP: record number of armed conflicts in the world - EurekAlert
Never before have there been so many armed conflicts across the globe. This has been shown by new statistics from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program, UCDP, at Uppsala University. In 2023, the number of conflicts involving states totalled 59, the highest number ever since the data collection’s starting point in 1946. Previous peaks were seen in 2020 and 2022, each with 56 conflicts. UCDP is the world’s most widely used data source on organised violence and the oldest project to collect data on civil wars still in operation. The UCDP definition of armed conflict has become the global standard for the systematic definition and study of conflict. https://ucdp.uu.se/
