Abstract

Contemporary social work presents practitioners with myriad challenges. Upholding human rights, social justice and active citizenship requires social workers to affirm environmental justice and care for planet Earth in and through its professional expertise supplemented by transdisciplinary work with other academic disciplines. This is to enable innovations in social work practice that prepare it for the new demands that will arise through the social dimensions of disasters including climate change–induced ones.
