No country saw their security risk decrease in the past 12 months, says International SOS. The world’s most dangerous countries to visit in 2025 have been revealed in a new study on security, health and climate change risks around the world. Also on the list were Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine.
Countries that have a “high” security risk (one below an “extreme” security risk) include: Mali, Ethiopia, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Myanmar, Papua New Guinea, Venezuela, Haiti and Honduras. The map provides organisations and businesses with risk ratings reflecting the impact of disruptive events such as conflict, infectious diseases and impacts of extreme weather events.
Countries were graded for each category of risk on a five-level scale ranging from “low” to “very high” for medical and “insignificant” to “extreme” for security. The UK received a “low” rating across all three categories of risk, apart from its mental health score, which received a 15 per cent to 17.5 per cent share of the population with any mental health issues, the second highest score.
The company factors in which territories have seen changes in how high its risk factor is due to conflict throughout 2024, such as Israel’s war on Gaza and other wars such as one in Sudan. International SOS says that Sudan, Lebanon, Israel, Iraq, and Myanmar have all undergone multiple risk rating reviews and expansions of high or extreme-risk zones in 2024 as a result of conflict.
