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.
