Pandemics, Climate Change and Growing Inequality:The Emerging Paradigm Shift in Helping Professions

The COVID-19 pandemic that has affected the world since December 2019 is the biggest challenge today, especially, in the areas of health and well-being. Many International bodies like the International Labour Organization, World Bank, and United Nations Development Programme have predicted a slowdown in growth of economies across countries, along with rise of unemployment, loss of income, increased problems of migrants, children and the elderly. The United Nations and United Nations Women have reported that lockdown, quarantine and job loss during this pandemic have led to an increase in gender inequality. This pandemic also exposes the health inequities and structural weakness of health systems of different countries. Along with these, various reports about climate change have also linked pandemics with zoonotic diseases. COVID-19 is considered one such zoonotic disease and more such diseases are predicted in the future. It has also been noticed that the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding and funding aids from International bodies have drastically reduced due to the pandemic, as well as a constraint is found in direct aid and field-based activities. This will either slow down or bring to standstill development activities, social work and public health related projects that address inequality. Such scenarios call for a reorientation of helping professions, including Social Work and Public Health. Such a reorientation and paradigm shift will be necessary to address inequality and livelihood issues in the post COVID-19 era. This symposium is a follow-up of the International Virtual Symposium (IVS-I) on Pandemics, Climate Change and Growing Inequality: Emerging Paradigm Shift in Helping Professions held on 28.08.2020; the National Virtual Symposium II (NVS-II) on Informality, New Forms of Work, Labour Concerns of the Pandemic: Evolving Strategies for Helping Professions organized on 12.09.2020; and National Virtual Symposium III (NVS-III) on Society, Economy And Development During The COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons For Emerging Economies held on 20.10.2020 in which several eminent global speakers delivered their keynote address enriching hundreds of scholars, faculties and practitioners worldwide. The report contains keynote address of eminent academicians presented in seven academic sessions. They have shared their views on Pandemics, Climate Change and Growing Inequality - Emerging Paradigm Shift in Helping Professions. The Book project is a continuation of this symposium and it invites the intellectual community (both academic/ practitioners) to reflect upon the reality, consider impacts and come up with innovative solutions. This will eventually lead to further research collaborations and create joint research with trans or inter-disciplinary approaches.

Restoring the Unrestored: Strategies for Restoring Global Land during the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (UN-DER)

Restoring the health of degraded land is critical for overall human development as land is a vital life-supporting system, directly or indirectly influencing the attainment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN-SDGs). However, more than 33% of the global land is degraded and thereby affecting the livelihood of billions of people worldwide. Realizing this fact, the 73rd session of the UN Assembly has formally adopted a resolution to celebrate 2021–2030 as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (UN-DER), for preventing, halting, and reversing degradation of ecosystems worldwide. While this move is historic and beneficial for both people and the planet, restoration of degraded land at different scales and levels requires a paradigm shift in existing restoration approaches, fueled by the application of applied science to citizen/community-based science, and tapping of indigenous and local knowledge to advanced technological breakthroughs. In addition, there is a need of strong political will and positive behavioral changes to strengthen restoration initiatives at the grassroot level and involvement of people from all walks of life (i.e., from politicians to peasants and social workers to scientists) are essential for achieving the targets of the UN-DER. Similarly, financing restoration on the ground by the collective contribution of individuals (crowd funding) and institutions (institutional funding) are critical for maintaining the momentum. Private companies can earmark lion-share of their corporate social responsibility fund (CSR fund) exclusively for restoration. The adoption of suitable bioeconomy models is crucial for maintaining the perpetuity of the restoration by exploring co-benefits, and also for ensuring stakeholder involvements during and after the restoration. This review underpins various challenges and plausible solutions to avoid, reduce, and reverse global land degradation as envisioned during the UN-DER, while fulfilling the objectives of other ongoing initiatives like the Bonn Challenge and the UN-SDGs.

Impact assessment of clean cookstove intervention in Gujarat, India: a potential case for corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding.

Exposure to indoor air pollutants released from traditional cookstoves in rural Indian households is a matter of great concern. While there are various studies over several decades focused towards intervention strategies for reducing air pollutants, limited literature exists towards the identification of appropriate methodology for feasible intervention, adoption and usage of improved cookstoves (ICS). In the present study, PM2.5 and CO microenvironment concentrations are estimated in households using traditional and improved cookstove (NEERDHUR). The reduction in PM2.5 and CO microenvironment concentrations after the introduction of ICS was found to be 89-94% and 35-57%, respectively. Information-education-communication (IEC) activity was used as a tool to increase the adoption and usage rate in the ICS using households. The cost-benefit analysis was also performed to check the benefits of ICS use, and the benefit-cost ratio was found to be 3 to 4 times. Findings of the study suggest that, although the ICS intervention could significantly improve the indoor air quality, however, it fails to comply with the permissible safe limits; further focus on greener fuels and ventilation characteristics is suggested. The outcomes from the study can help decision-makers, corporate social responsibility fund mobilizers and policymakers for effective policy advocacy to design efforts by promoting clean cooking interventions and linking and mapping these with national missions and flagship programs.

Industrial Role Optimization in Regional Development through Corporate Social Responsibility

Sustainable development is a complex problem that demands a partnership to create synergy from government and the industrial sector. This partnership is created through corporate social responsibility (CSR) program with the sustainable development principle. East Java, one of the provinces in Indonesia, has developed CSR forums in the regencies/cities to synergize the company’s CSR programs with the regional development programs. This study aims to minutely examine how the industrial world optimally performs its role in regional development with its social responsibility. This research used the content analysis method, while the respondents were 18 CSR Forums out of regencies/cities in East Java, and companies incorporated in those forums. The results showed that most of the companies had carried out their social responsibilities with variations in their numbers and activities. A report said that three trillion rupiah were granted for the CSR fund. It was a significant amount compared to the 30 trillion development budgets of East Java in 2018. The implementation of CSR tends to be charity, instead of be directed and arranged into continuous and sustainable programs. The CSR Forums are to perform a proactive synergy between companies and the government. However, due to various limitations and constraints of each region, this has not reached its optimal level. Ongoing efforts are needed to establish government and industry harmonization with the intention that the existing CSR funds unquestionably become one of the regional development reinforcements.

The flow of CSR funds from foreign companies to NGO engaged in the community is certainly raised the questions, seeing the very different spirit between corporate NGO. The corporation whose orientation is on financial gain, while the orientation of NGO is community empowerment and it is a non-profit institution. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the power-corporate relations in the NGO through the funding network. This research uses qualitative methods based on a critical paradigm. It was found that the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is no longer merely an act of charity and the social kindnes of the company to its community, furthermore, it is already a business strategy. The knowledge and power of funds agencies has been "driving" the NGO in Indonesia through the limitation of issues which are in the forum of donors. In the end, the NGOs in Indonesia have only become a capitalist tribes agency.</p>
