However, social workers have played a low-key role in environmental issues that increasingly impact on people's well-being, both locally and globally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compelling new contribution confronts this topic head-on, examining environmental issues from a social work perspective. Lena Dominelli draws attention to the important voice of practitioners working on the ground in the aftermath of environmental disasters, whether these are caused by climate change, industrial accidents or human conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe author explores the concept of \u003cem\u003egreen social work\u003c\/em\u003e and its role in using environmental crises to address poverty and other forms of structural inequalities, to obtain more equitable allocations of limited natural resources, and to tackle global socio-political forces that have a damaging impact upon the quality of life of poor and marginalised populations at local levels. The resolution of these matters is linked to community initiatives that social workers can engage in to ensure that the quality of life of poor people can be enhanced without costing the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis important book will appeal to those in the fields of social work, social policy, sociology and human geography. It powerfully reveals how environmental issues are an integral part of social work's remit if it is to retain its currency in the modern world and emphasise its relevance to the social issues that societies have to resolve in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854562808044,"sku":"9780745654010","price":102.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/b0fbc44cb3d682ca37804ef566c6d8a6.jpg?v=1759268363"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/lena-dominelli.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
