Climate Change and its Effects
Assignment: Climate Change and Environmental Justice
When a disaster occurs, media outlets often focus on the images of the initial impact of the destruction and the grief-stricken faces of survivors. After the rubble begins to be cleared away, however, media outlets typically lose interest and fail to report on the recovery process for the survivors. However, long after the media fades, individuals continue to need help and assistance, whether due to displacement or loss of livelihood.
For this Assignment, think about the influence of climate change and effects of natural disasters. Reflect on the disparate impact on diverse communities and the role of social workers in preventing or intervening with impacted communities.
The Assignment (2–3 pages):
- Describe the role of climate change on natural disasters.
