“As of April 2025, the global political climate stands at a critical inflection point, marked by intensifying regional conflicts, fragile diplomacy, and rising risks of escalation among major powers.”
Here is a structured overview of the Current Geopolitical Climate Status (April 2025) using the PEACE Formula, key assessments, and visual elements:
1. Current Geopolitical Climate Status: April 2025
PEACE Formula Assessment (Scale: 1–5)

| C – Cooperation Level | 3.0 | Mixed collaboration; limited consensus in multilateral forums. |
