ABSTRACT

As has emerged in previous chapters, the relationship between people and the environment is complex and encompasses at least two dimensions: the person-in-the-environment and the environment-in-the-person. The former is well known to social workers, whereas the latter has been largely overlooked. In this final chapter, we critically analyze: (a) why social workers need to focus on environmental sustainability, (b) the goals of green social work in Asia, and (c) the directions for future development.
