Building resiliency to ecofascist radicalisation: Preventing an emerging threat

Description:

This policy brief examines how ecofascist radicalisation is being constructed and amplified, particularly through linguistic patterns that link ecological concerns to conspiracy theories and white supremacist ideas. It outlines how these narratives exploit climate anxiety and social grievances, and discusses how practitioners and communities can build resilience to this emerging radicalisation threat by fostering inclusive discourse, countering polarising messaging and addressing underlying vulnerabilities. Its focus on an evolving ideological threat tied to both environmental and far‑right movements makes it relevant for understanding emerging pathways to radicalisation and informing preventive engagement strategies.
