A particular focus is on vulnerable populations, such as those living in poverty, populations of color, and women, who often bear the brunt of environmental catastrophes. Chapters include theoretical frameworks and concepts; emerging ways for social workers to engage in this work: and clinical interventions of ecosocial work practice at the micro, macro, and global levels.
