Green social work espouses a holistic approach to all peoples and
other living things - plants and animals, and the physical
ecosystem; emphasises the relational nature of all its constituent
parts; and redefines the duty to care for and about others as one
that includes the duty to care for and about planet earth. By
acknowledging the interdependency of all living things it allows
for the inclusion of all systems and institutions in its remit,
including both (hu)man-made and natural disasters arising from the
(hu)made ones of poverty to chemical pollution of the earth's land,
waters and soils and climate change, to the natural hazards like
earthquakes and volcanoes which turn to disasters through human
(in)action. Green social work's value system is also one that
favours equality, social inclusion, the equitable distribution of
resources, and a rights-based approach to meeting people's needs to
live in an ethical and sustainable manner. Responding to these
issues is one of the biggest challenges facing social workers in
the twenty-first century which this Handbook is intended to
address. Through providing the theories, practices, policies,
knowledge and skills required to act responsibly in responding to
the diverse disasters that threaten to endanger all living things
and planet earth itself, this green social work handbook will be
required reading for all social work students, academics and
professionals, as well as those working in the fields of community
development and disaster management.
