The report highlights that direct impacts on livelihoods weaken coping mechanisms and social cohesion, while indirect effects are reflected in how violent extremist groups frame their recruitment narratives and propaganda. By cantering the lived experiences of vulnerable populations, it argues that climate stressors can act as risk multipliers that exacerbate socioeconomic grievances, which extremist organisations may exploit. The report concludes with principles for future prevention and counter‑violent extremism initiatives that integrate climate‑related challenges into policy and programming.Link:Read the documentLanguage:EnglishDate: 10.03.2026Proposed by:PPHSSource:UNICRI, 2022
