Opportunity for Social Work

  • Dominelli (2011), argues that social

work has an important role to play:

—“promoting sustainable energy

production and consumption; mobilising people to protect their futures through community social work; and proposing solutions to greenhouse gas emissions” (Dominelli, 2011, 430).

slide-28

—“advocacy and community mobilisation

around green technologies to enhance the quality of life in disadvantaged localities…and [promoting] clean renewable energy” (435).

—skills sets that include “lobbying for

preventative measure taken at local…national and international levels by advocating policy changes…and dialoguing with policy makers and using the media to change policies” (437).
