This text investigates the emerging intersection of social work practice and environmental sustainability, questioning how the profession can effectively address the ecological crises impacting vulnerable populations. Edited by Mel Gray, John Coates, and Tiani Hetherington, the book compiles contributions from various scholars and practitioners to establish a theoretical and practical framework for 'ecosocial work.' It argues that environmental degradation is fundamentally a social justice issue that requires a shift in professional focus toward ecological consciousness and interdisciplinary intervention.
