以环境正义促进社会正义:绿色社会工作的国际实践及其本土化空间

Promoting Social Justice through Environmental Justice:International Practice of Green Social Work and Its Localization Space

绿色社会工作的兴起同全球环境变迁的客观背景以及专业内部对于“人与环境”关系的自我反思密切相关。基于对“环境”的社会属性与物理属性内在关联的重新审视,以追求社会正义为专业使命的绿色社会工作正迈向寻求“环境-社会正义”的整合性实践。理论架构层面,绿色社会工作植根于深层生态学和生态女性主义,尝试建构一个挑战人类中心主义的关系本体论和实现“环境-社会正义”的包容性理论框架;干预模式层面,融合传统社会工作通用实务过程的基本特征,绿色社会工作试图搭建一个从地方能力建设到全球合作治理的跨学科专业援助体系;实践操作层面,绿色社会工作主要以全球环境变迁所造成的环境危机对脆弱边缘群体的负面影响为切入点,重点关注灾害危机管理、社区灾后重建、城市生态治理、边缘群体发展、公民环境权利以及国际环境合作等实践领域。绿色社会工作与中国的绿色发展理念及生态文明建设之间的关联性为其本土化拓展了实践空间,但其发展面临人与自然关系的固有矛盾性以及整合实践中的“能力壁垒”等现实挑战。

The rise of green social work is closely related to the background of global environmental changes and the self-reflection on the relationship between human populations and the environment within professional social work.Based on re-examining the internal relationship between the social and physical properties of the environment,the social work with the pursuit of social justice as its professional mission is moving towards an integrated green social work practice that seeks“environment-social justice”.At the theoretical level,green social work is rooted in deep ecology and ecofeminism,trying to construct a relationship ontology that challenges anthropocentrism and an inclusive theoretical framework for achieving“environment-social justice”.At the intervention model level,integrating the basic characteristics of the general practice process of traditional social work,green social work attempts to build an interdisciplinary professional assistance system from local capacity building to global cooperative governance.At the practical level,green social work mainly focuses on the negative impacts of environmental crises caused by global environmental changes on vulnerable groups and marginalized populations,with a focus on disaster crisis management,community post-disaster reconstruction,urban ecological governance,marginal groups development,civil environmental rights,and international environmental cooperation.The intrinsic relationship between green social work and China’s green development concept and ecological construction practice expands the practice space for its localization.However,the development of green social work faces the inherent contradictions of the relationship between human beings and nature,and the“capacity barrier”in integration practice.
