Book description:
How does climate change affect social work and social development?
What actions are needed to integrate the three pillars of economic development, environmental development and social protection?
With global warming and the increase in natural disasters due to the emission of greenhouse gases, an alternative approach to the natural environment is vital. The main focus of this volume is to emphasize the person-in-environment concept and to find measures for its implementation. For social work the environment has traditionally been viewed as a world of human relationships as opposed to the interaction between man and environment.
This informative and incisively written edited collection brings together experts from around the world to analyze the person-in-environment concept and to find measures for its implementation. Through the presentation of theoretical and practical platforms for environmental social work or ‘green social work’, we hope to bring about a new paradigmatic shift in our attitude to the concept of person-in- environment.
