The season's final podcast outlines key takeaways and looks ahead at what action is required globally to address illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing in a warming world. Hosts Grace Evans and Lauren Young explore some of the solutions suggested throughout the series for addressing IUU fishing. As climate change alters the nature of IUU activity, those charged with responding also need to adapt. Some of the proposed solutions require the involvement of law enforcement agencies, while others will need a broader global effort. Part Two: The Deep Dive In Part Two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Kevin He and Barbara Hutniczak to take a deeper look at what action is needed if we are to effectively address IUU fishing in a warming world.

Part One: Themes and Concepts In Part One, Grace and Lauren are joined by experts from around the world to discuss the role that local communities and major importers have in tackling IUU fishing.
This penultimate episode of the series explores the challenges and opportunities for monitoring and enforcement efforts. Policing our vast oceans is already presenting many difficulties, and with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing operators set to adopt new behaviours in a warming world, how can enforcement efforts adapt to tackle the threat? Part Two: The Deep Dive In part two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Peter Horn, Aaron Delano-Johnson and Tom Hlavac to take a deeper look at how illicit fishing laws are enforced across the vast expanse of the world's oceans.
This penultimate episode of the series explores the challenges and opportunities for monitoring and enforcement efforts. Policing our vast oceans is already presenting many difficulties, and with illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing operators set to adopt new behaviours in a warming world, how can enforcement efforts adapt to tackle the threat? Part One: Themes and Concepts In part one, guests from around the world join RUSI's Lauren Young and Grace Evans to discuss how climate-induced declines and displacement of fish stocks change the nature of IUU activity, and how those charged with responding will also need to adapt.
This two-part episode focuses on organised criminal fishing, including its convergence with other crime types. With fish stocks set to decline and shift, will organised criminal networks become more sophisticated in accessing shrinking fishing grounds, and will there be an increase in associated crimes? Part Two: The Deep Dive In part two, Lauren and Grace are joined by Gina Fiore, officer with the Pew Charitable Trusts, and Alfonso Daniels, an investigative journalist and researcher based in London, who have both contributed to a recent RUSI research paper entitled 'Future IUU Fishing Trends in a Warming World'.

With fish stocks set to decline and shift, will organised criminal networks become more sophisticated in accessing shrinking fishing grounds, and will there be an increase in associated crimes? Part One: Themes and Concepts In part one, guests from around the world join RUSI's Lauren Young and Grace Evans to begin exploring organised criminal fishing operations and how they intersect with other crime types.
This episode, in two parts, focuses on the inland challenges arising from climate change, including the implications for freshwater fisheries. With the interconnected impacts of climate stress on land and at sea and shrinking freshwater fish stocks due to climatic change, how will global illegal fishing trends alter? Part Two: The Deep Dive In part two, Sarah Glaser, senior director at the World Wildlife Fund, and Colleen Devlin, research associate and project leader of the Fisheries Conflict Database for Secure Fisheries, join Lauren and Grace for a deep dive into the themes addressed in part one, including what IUU fishing looks like in the Great Lakes region of North America.
This episode, in two parts, focuses on the inland challenges arising from climate change, including the implications for freshwater fisheries. With the interconnected impacts of climate stress on land and at sea and shrinking freshwater fish stocks due to climatic change, how will global illegal fishing trends alter? Part One: Themes and Concepts In part one, guests Guido Herrera, Oluwole Ojewale, Sarah Glaser and Colleen Delvin join RUSI's Lauren Young and Grace Evans to begin exploring how climate change will impact illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU)fishing in communities reliant on rivers and lakes.
This episode, in two parts, focuses on rising sea levels and the implications for fishing communities and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries. With islands sinking below the waterline, EEZs increasingly disputed and fishers at risk of being displaced, will illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing become more prevalent? Part Two: The Deep Dive In Part Two, Grace and Lauren are joined by Beth Mendenhall, Assistant Professor in the Department of Marine Affairs at the University of Rhode Island, and Andreas Østhagen, Senior Researcher at the Fridtjof Nansen Institute in Oslo, to take a closer look at the complexities of maritime boundaries in the Arctic.
This episode, in two parts, focuses on rising sea levels and the implications for fishing communities and exclusive economic zone (EEZ) boundaries. With islands sinking below the waterline, EEZs increasingly disputed and fishers at risk of being displaced, will illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing become more prevalent? Part One: Themes and Concepts For Part One, Grace Evans and Lauren Young speak to several experts to examine the complexities of maritime boundaries and explore how sea level rise, coastal erosion and changing weather patterns are set to alter the way we access and utilise the sea.
This episode, in two parts, examines climate-induced species distribution shifts and the impacts these have on fishers across the world, while also exploring the new opportunities arising from melting polar ice. With many marine species already shifting poleward to deeper waters, and with significant declines in marine catch potential expected in the tropics, what will be the impact be on illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing? Part Two: The Deep Dive In Part Two, Lauren and Grace are joined by independent scholar Dmitry Lajus, Kevin He, economist and conservation planner at Pew Charitable Trust, and John Simeone, independent consultant at Simeone Consulting LLC. With support from our sponsors at the Pew Charitable Trust, we conducted a global horizon scan on climate change and IUU fishing to identify and prioritise threats and opportunities emerging over the next decade. Our guests for Part Two have been an integral part of this research from the start.

In the final episode in this season of RUSI's Decoding Counterterrorism, hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Thomas Renard and Emily Winterbotham to discuss what counterterrorism might look like in the future. In an environment of shifting national security priorities, great power competition seems to be taking the top billing away from counterterrorism. However, it is important to not lose sight of the evolving threats of extremism and terrorism, both globally and in various domestic contexts. Across Europe and North America, concern has largely shifted away from the two-decade, post-9/11 focus on Islamist violent extremism to rising levels of far-right, anti-government, conspiracy and other, more nebulous, ideological mixtures. Therefore, how do we move towards a useful reimagining of the counterterrorism apparatus to make it applicable to the evolving threat spectrum and the wider connections of terrorism to extremism and conflict?

In Episode 11 of RUSI's Decoding Counterterrorism, hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Jared Shurin and Michael Jones to discuss the essential nature of communication to both terrorism itself and to efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism and terrorism. The fields of strategic communication and marketing have been developing a knowledge base for decades on the most effective techniques to reach the maximum number of people with messages that resonate enough to change attitudes and behaviours. Much can be learned from these fields about how to design and deliver the most effective, influential messaging to build social resilience to extremism. There have been many efforts to prevent and counter violent extremism over the past 15 years that have used strategic communications ineffectively, and the evaluative evidence base remains weak. However, what are the lessons we can learn from older fields with good track records to refine and renew effective approaches to using communications to prevent terrorism?
In Episode 10 of RUSI's Decoding Counterterrorism, hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Saji Prelis and Claudia Wallner to discuss the role youth have in preventing and countering violent extremism. Youth, often loosely seen as those aged somewhere between 15 and 35, have long been the target of efforts to prevent violent extremism and are often seen as the population most 'at risk' to radicalisation and recruitment. However, research of these types of interventions shows how common assumptions about youth are often not grounded in the reality that 'youth' itself is not a risk factor and that there are a variety of potential drivers and risk factors that need to be assessed and addressed. At the global level, most youth use peaceful pathways to air grievances and seek change. Instead of targeting youth as a risk category, young people should be seen as a resource for positive peer-group engagement and as drivers of change. Therefore, where youth are the target population of interventions to prevent violent extremism, how can we engage them to ensure that these efforts are effectively assessing risk factors and addressing the varied experiences of these young people?
Hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Gayatri Sahgal and Stijn Sieckelinck to discuss resilience in the context of preventing violent extremism, or what it means to try to ensure that individuals and communities can effectively resist radicalisation and recruitment or have the capacity to rebuild following these events. While 'resilience' is often referred to as a goal of these types of interventions, it remains a very opaque term and can equally be used to refer to a process or an outcome. This can be due to the fact that resilience is often used in contexts where there is a high degree of complexity, such as multiple intersecting drivers of violent extremism. For example, there might be poor governance and lack of education; the violent extremist group might be offering a salary; and an individual might be more vulnerable because they are seeking opportunities for a better future. 'Social cohesion', a concept often used in conjunction with resilience, can sometimes be mistakenly seen as part of the same process. However, Stijn and Gayatri describe how this term is quite distinct, as a measure of cohesiveness between different social groups. What, therefore, are the best ways to encourage resilience to violent extremism within individuals and communities?
Hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Emily Winterbotham and Martine Zeuthen to discuss how and why mentorship efforts, often including a variety of supportive elements such as psycho-social or vocational mentorship, are one of the types of preventing and countering violent extremism approaches that maintain a positive track record for effectiveness and impact The research evidence base and Martine's practical implementation experience in Kenya suggest that interventions need to be kept small, tailored and targeted at those who are most at-risk of radicalisation or recruitment. The mentor-mentee relationship is important, and careful consideration needs to be given not only to the selection of each of these groups, but also to how they are paired. It has often been found that mentors are most effective when they have similar backgrounds to their mentees and have struggled with the same challenges. So, what are the key elements to ensuring that your mentorship engagement to prevent violent extremism can be successful?
Hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Martin Innes and Christopher Hockey to discuss the role police have in preventing and countering violent extremism. In this episode, we survey the two different contexts of the UK and Kenya, comparing the role of police in counterterrorism across the Global North and South. While police play an important and primary role in the investigation and arrest of terrorism suspects, evidence shows that when policing powers are abused and human rights are violated, this can drive violent extremism. Thus, it is important to build capacity within law enforcement to ensure good practice in countering violent extremism, for once the bond of trust is broken, it is very difficult to rebuild. In prevention efforts, there has been much debate around the best ways to build bonds of trust between police and communities, so that the police can better understand the potential drivers of violent extremism in the local context and prevent potential acts of terrorism. This looks different in different parts of the world, where there are different histories and ethical codes of practice among police forces. What, therefore, are the best practices that can improve law enforcement engagement in preventing violent extremism?
Hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Jonathan Metzl and Michael Jones to discuss how the public health model – an epidemiological approach attempting to prevent or reduce a particular illness or social problem in a population by identifying risk indicators – has been applied in preventing and countering violent extremism. Michael highlights how this model provides a way to organise preventative interventions for the wider range of potential drivers of violent extremism. We also discuss the opportunities and challenges around engaging healthcare professionals in the goal of preventing violent extremism, including the concern that they might be drawn into a security agenda which could compromise the trust they enjoy with patients or pressure their professional judgements. Jonathan then enumerates the fundamental challenges inherent in trying to use mental health diagnosis tools to predict those who might go on to commit violence.
Hosts Jessica White and Raffaello Pantucci are joined by Martine Zeuthen and James Khalil to talk about the types of countering violent extremism interventions addressed at people who have already been involved with violent extremism. Martine and James have a wealth of experience in supporting such efforts in the Global South, where countries grapple with the challenges of developing effective rehabilitation interventions for large groups of individuals. How can these types of deradicalisation and disengagement interventions be designed to work towards successfully rehabilitating and reintegrating individuals into society?
