This book examines and encourages the increasing involvement of
those in the social sciences, including social work, as well as
everyday citizens, with environmental injustices that affect the
natural ecology, community health, and physical and mental health
of marginalized communities. The authors draw on their diverse
experiences in research, practice, and education to suggest
interdisciplinary strategies for addressing environmental justice,
climate change, and ecological destruction on both a local and
global scale. This insightful work presents models for action,
practice, and education, including field learning, with examples of
how programs and schools have integrated and infused environmental
justice content across their curricula. Environmental and
ecological impacts on local communities as well as the whole
ecology of life are examined. Models for engaging civic dialogue,
addressing structural oppression, and employing other
interdisciplinary responses to environmental injustices are
provided. Topics explored among the chapters include: Water, Air,
and Land: The Foundation for Life, Food, and Society Human Health
and Well-Being in Times of Global Environmental Crisis Power and
Politics: Protection, Rebuilding, and Justice Pathways to Change:
Community and Environmental Transformation Decolonizing Nature: The
Potential of Nature to Heal The Intersection of Environmental
Justice, Climate Change, Community, and the Ecology of Life equips

in their own communities. Emphasizing the need for immediate action
on ecological, climate, and environmental justice issues, this
forward-thinking book assists social science professionals,
educators, researchers, and other concerned individuals with the
knowledge needed for creating meaningful interdisciplinary
responses in their communities as they take action within a rapidly
changing context.
