Ecological justice is a critical component of social work practice with wide-reaching implications for well-being outcomes from the individual through the global level. As social workers, we are well prepared and positioned to work with people and communities, historically from a person-in-environment perspective, but often overlook the physical environment's impact on people and communities. Evidence demonstrates climate instability threatens historic social justice and equality gains over the past half-century. Moreover, these negative impacts are accelerating with disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations, a reality that makes ecological justice significant to social work.
Adelphi University School of Social Work and the ISWEJ invite the social work community to invest time and expertise to engage with the pernicious problems associated with the climate crisis. Taking a justice-forward and solution-focused stance, the conference will explore pathways forward that center on equity and justice. The conference seeks to reduce siloing of environmental issues apart from examining other vulnerabilities and social injustices. To this aim, the conference will take an interdisciplinary approach and consider implications for a wider global community.
