Terrorism and Political Violence Risk Map 2016
Aon has launched its latest Terrorism and Political Violence Risk Map, against a backdrop of rising terrorist incidents in Europe and the US, much of it inspired by Islamic State.
This year’s map is now available – along with historical data – on our new online portal, which provides detailed insights into the dangers facing businesses worldwide.

Examining trends in more than 200 countries and territories and considering threats ranging from terrorism and sabotage, to strikes, political insurrection and civil war, the map is one of the most comprehensive tools available to those looking to better understand their exposures to these extreme risks.
Drawing on six years of analytical insights and data, the map draws on thinking from Aon and Risk Advisory Group, a leading independent global risk consultancy, to provide actionable insights and intelligence into developing threats worldwide.
