Earth is our one and only home. Wherever we live, protecting the planet is a shared responsibility.

Mother Earth has given us everything, yet we have repaid her with reckless destruction, said UN Secretary-General António Guterres on Wednesday’s International Mother Earth Day.

“We must break our dependence on fossil fuels, protect and restore nature at scale, and deliver climate justice for those who did least to cause this crisis yet suffer the most,” he urged, calling on governments and businesses to step up ambition on climate action.

From reducing food waste to saving energy and buying local, we can all take action and make every day Earth Day.

The CPN-PREV research team is both excited and proud to announce the launch of its latest systematic review on trajectories out of violent extremism. This is the most ambitious review we have conducted to date, synthesizing no fewer than 149 studies on the pathways of individuals who have disengaged from violent extremist groups or ideologies. This substantial work was made possible by the team assembled in January 2024 for CPN-PREV’s second mandate. It is therefore a systematic review that took two years to complete!

This review applies the procedures and standards of the Campbell Collaboration, which we adapted to a predominantly qualitative body of literature. As such, our synthesis relies on a thematic analysis that leads to a process-based model of disengagement and social reintegration among individuals involved in violent extremist trajectories.

Our findings highlight several similarities between (a) disengagement from violent extremism, (b) desistance from criminal careers or groups, and (c) exit from new religious movements (“sects”). We integrate these strands of literature to ground our recommendations, which are aimed not only at future research, but also at practice and public policy. We warmly invite you to read the full systematic review, available here: https://cpnprev.ca/systematic-review-8 -reports

An executive summary is also available for those who may feel daunted by the 130+ page report! A French version of the executive summary will be released in the coming weeks.

Finally, we would like to thank Public Safety Canada's Community Resilience Fund for the financial support that made this synthesis possible. We also wish to dedicate this report to the memory of Prof. Garth Davies, a leading figure in the field of preventing violent extremism, who passed away too soon earlier this week.
