Other notable African countries perceived safer than Kenya were Rwanda (position 92) and Zambia (position 70).
"Beyond warfare, another concern around safety and security is climate change. Climate change can threaten global stability, potentially bringing about climate-induced migration, natural disasters, and food insecurity," read the report in part.
"The top three countries for Safety and Security, according to the World Citizenship Index (WCI), are Iceland, Switzerland and Ireland. These countries are all known for having a robustly protected natural environment, and all sent representatives to COP-28 in 2023."
Nonetheless, Kenya ranked higher in the economic opportunity and quality of life ranking.
"Our global survey of high-net-worth-individuals’ priorities indicated that ‘Quality of Life’ was the most important factor when considering citizenship for 36.9 per cent of participants," read the report in part.
"Monaco, Denmark, and Hong Kong took the top spots for Quality of Life in 2024, reflecting the high standard of living and wealth these jurisdictions can extend to all their citizens."
