While much has been done to address the P/CVE challenges over the past decade, we continue to see a host of new trends and developing challenges.
The RAN Plenary explored three of these, namely the changing Islamist extremism, the growing violent right wing problem and the impact of COVID-19 on the P/CVE environment, namely the proliferation of conspiracy theories, all of which is giving terrorists and extremists new opportunities to radicalise and recruit.
The focus of this year’s Plenary was on how to best prevent and counter violent extremism in these challenging times.
