Social work and sustainable development: towards a social-ecological practice model
The current social-ecological crisis will lead to major social changes, for better or for worse. Society
needs to ensure that those changes involve a transition to a more sustainable society. Since this
transition touches upon all aspects of life, social work cannot remain outside that process. This
article argues how social work practice may contribute to sustainable development, provided it
includes the ecological environment in its contextual approach.
