    Since the earliest days of social work practice, social workers have dealt with environmental issues, advocating alongside diverse populations to address disproportionate environmental impacts on systemically marginalized populations including those living in poverty, populations of color, persons with disabilities, and women. In the face of the accelerating climate crisis, social workers must proactively engage with clients and communities and respond to the growing impacts of environmental injustices.
     
    The American Academy of Social Work and Welfare’s grand challenge to “create social responses to a changing environment” is a call to action for social workers to advocate for environmental justice. The Global Agenda, developed by the International Federation of Social Workers, the International Association of Schools of Social Work, and the International Council on Social Welfare, calls for multilevel responses to concerns such as forced migration, air pollution, ecoanxiety, and food and water insecurity.
     
    Ecosocial Work: Environmental Practice and Advocacy answers that call with chapters that include theoretical frameworks and innovative tools. In this comprehensive text, the authors take a justice-centered approach as they draw on case examples to elevate multicultural and intergenerational perspectives spanning from local to global contexts. The book encourages readers to consider how simultaneously protecting the planet while meeting the historical aims of the profession advances the values and ethical mandates social workers abide by. Designed to foster critical thinking, the book offers hope and possibility for a just environmental future.
     
    Learning Objectives: 
    • Synthesize knowledge from diverse NASW ethically-aligned perspectives to expand community-led environmental benefits while reducing harm across short and long-term consequences.
    • Evaluate conceptual frameworks to illuminate social and climate implications more clearly while balancing immediate needs, equity, and social justice with environmental protections and sustainability using a JEDI (justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion) lens
    • Apply clinical interventions, examples of ecosocial work practice at the micro, macro, and global levels, and ecosocial work theoretical frameworks and concepts to social work practice.
    • Support an action-oriented and futurist approach to tackling the climate crisis and offer possibilities for transformative and interdisciplinary social work practice across communities, contexts, areas of expertise.
    • Explore concepts within ecosocial work, allowing an in-depth investigation of various connections between climate change, environmental justice, and pressing issues facing social workers and society
