(CNN) — Devastating loss of life and growing uncertainty have the world very much on edge, but there is a bit of good news for humanity: Benevolence is surging globally. That's one of the key findings of the World Happiness Report, a publication of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network that draws on global survey data from people in about 150 countries. Marking its 10th anniversary, the report looks at happiness around the world -- the happiest nations, those at the very bottom of the happiness scale and everything in between, plus the factors that tend to lead to greater happiness. And with two years of Covid-19 pandemic data on the books, the report has uncovered something unexpected. "The big surprise was that globally, in an uncoordinated way, there have been very large increases in all the three forms of benevolence that are asked about in the Gallup World Poll," John Helliwell, one of the report's three founding editors, told CNN Travel Donating to charity, helping a stranger and volunteering are all up, "especially the help to strangers in 2021, relative to either before the pandemic or 2020, by a very large amount in all regions of the world," said Helliwell, who is a professor emeritus at the Vancouver School of Economics, University of British Columbia. The global average of the three measures jumped by about 25% in 2021 compared with pre-pandemic levels, the report says. And benevolence is certainly top of mind as the world responds to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But before getting into how that increasingly global conflict may impact happiness, let's look at countries where the feeling was abundant in 2021.

Learn More »The effects the war will have on overall happiness in Russia are especially murky because government censorship distorts information that could inform life evaluations. The surveys this year's happiness rankings were based on were conducted well before the invasion. Ukraine and Russia both fall into the bottom half of world rankings for happiness in the 2022 report, with Ukraine at No. 98 and Russia at No. 80. At No. 146, Afghanistan is at the very bottom of the rankings in the 2022 report, "a stark reminder of the material and immaterial damage that war does to its many victims," Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, another report editor, said in a news release. The current war raging in Ukraine means happiness in other parts of the world could teeter as well. "It's conceivable some people seeing what war can do close up on their television screens every day to the lives of people who have nothing to do with war and want nothing to do with war can make them feel lucky they're not there or empathetic to the point of pain for the people who are there," Helliwell said. "And they're both real and understandable emotions, but they're playing on opposite sides of the balance." Hopefully, the uptick in benevolence -- in all its forms - carries into 2022 and beyond.
