This book discusses how to develop green transitions which benefit, include and respect marginalised social groups.Diversity and Inclusion in Environmentalism explores the challenge of taking into account issues of equity and justice in the green transformation and shows that ignoring these issues risks exacerbating the gap between the rich and the poor, the marginalised and included, and undermining widespread support for climate change mitigation. Expert contributors provide evidence and analysis in relation to the thinking and practice that has prevented us from building a broad base of people who are willing and able to take the action necessary to successfully overcome the current ecological crises. Providing examples from a wide range of marginalised and/or oppressed groups including women, disabled people, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning and others (LGBTQ+) community, the authors demonstrate how the issues and concerns of these groups are often undervalued in environmental policy-making and environmental social movements. Overall, this book supports environmental academics and practitioners to choose and campaign for effective, equitable and widely supported environmental policy, thereby enabling a smoother transition to sustainability. This volume will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners of environmental justice, social and environmental policy, planning and environmental sociology.

Environmental justice aspires to a healthy environment for all, as well as fair and inclusive processes of environmental decision-making. In order to develop successful strategies to achieve this, it is important to understand the factors that shape environmental justice outcomes. This optimistic, accessible and wide-ranging book contributes to this understanding by assessing the extent of, and reasons for, environmental justice/injustice in seven diverse countries - United States, Republic of Korea (South Korea), United Kingdom, Sweden, China, Bolivia and Cuba. Factors discussed include: race and class discrimination; citizen power; industrialisation processes; political-economic context; and the influence of dominant environmental discourses. In particular, the role of capitalism is critically explored. Based on over a hundred interviews with politicians, experts, activists and citizens of these countries, this is a compelling analysis aimed at all academics, policy-makers and campaigners who are engaged in thinking or action to address the most urgent environmental and social issues of our time.

The Sage Handbook of Eco-Social Policy and Politics offers a bold and timely rethinking of how public policies and political action can address ecological challenges while simultaneously advancing a broad range of social goals—such as equity, wellbeing, inclusion, and democratic participation—through an integrated and transformative approach.

Moving beyond the traditional silos of environmental protection and social welfare, this handbook presents a comprehensive framework for understanding how ecological and social justice are deeply interconnected—and must be tackled together.

At the heart of eco-social thinking is the recognition that sustainability cannot be achieved without justice, nor justice without sustainability. From the uneven impacts of climate change to the structural inequalities embedded in environmental harm, this volume explores how power, politics, and policy shape our responses to ecological crises. It brings together leading scholars and practitioners from around the world to examine the theoretical foundations, political struggles, policy innovations, and transformative movements that define the eco-social landscape.

Structured into five thematic sections, the handbook begins with key theories, informing concepts and histories, then moves through political dynamics, policy design, grassroots activism, and future visions for eco-social transformation. It offers critical insights into how welfare systems, governance structures, and social movements can be reimagined to support both people and the planet.

The Sage Handbook of Eco-Social Policy and Politics is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand and shape a just and sustainable future.

Section One: Theories, Concepts, and HistoriesSection Two: Politics of Eco-Social CrisesSection Three: Eco-Social PolicySection Four: Eco-Social Movements, Resistance, and ActivismSection Five: Eco-Social Futures and Transformations

Creative approaches to pedagogy, curriculum development and delivery in social work education are also presented, in the context of field education, human rights, international mobility and wellbeing. In addition, examples of innovative, applied social work practice are explored including mental health, ageing, multicultural practice, wellbeing at work and the role of hope in crises and service provision.
