How your donations help SIPRI make the case for peace

Geopolitical tensions are today at their highest since the cold war. A new arms race is underway. Climate change, soaring inequality and light-speed developments in artificial intelligence, quantum and other emerging technologies could radically alter the fundamentals of human security in ways that are difficult to predict.

This makes the kind of dependable facts and analysis SIPRI produces more important than ever—to understand a turbulent and rapidly changing world and, even more importantly, to help find paths to peace.

So far in 2025, SIPRI data and analysis have appeared in almost 77 000 media articles published in 171 countries. SIPRI’s publications, online commentaries, public databases and Yearbook pages were accessed more than 1.5 million times. SIPRI data is cited by world leaders, international bodies, companies, campaigners and academic experts.

Your donation will support:

• Ensuring that SIPRI’s internationally trusted databases on world military expenditure, world nuclear forces, international arms trade, peace operations and more are up to date and available to all.
• Providing interviews and background information to journalists from around the world.
• Carrying out groundbreaking research on new security challenges such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies and the militarization of space.
