The climate crisis is here and an urgent matter for social justice. Prominent social work advocacy for climate justice is growing, though still rare. With the climate denial and environmental protection rollbacks of the Trump administration (2017–2021) behind us, and with the Biden-Harris administration’s (2021–present) early commitments to climate action, where to for social work advocacy for climate justice? This essay focuses on the need and opportunities for social workers to “connect the dots” for how climate change intersects with a range of areas of work, engage in dialogue across difference to build alliances, and multisolve for climate justice together.
