Abstract
In this chapter, Lena Dominelli, Canadian scholar and activist (now working in Scotland), asserts that green social work offers a ‘new environmental paradigm’ for social workers. She demonstrates that green social work rests on and advances several core social work values, processes and practices, including, for example, transformation, transdisciplinarity, co-production, prevention and community work. Nevertheless, she acknowledges that social work’s capacity for transformative practice is much contested. Undeterred by these obstacles, Dominelli’s challenge to the reader is that green social work is for the everyone and needs to now become embedded across social work curriculums and across routine, mainstream practice.
