The average temperature in Alaska and the North American Arctic has risen at twice the rate of the global average due to climate change, causing changes to the natural environment that affect the physical, social, and emotional well‐being of people and communities. Social workers must be prepared to respond. Using a non‐probability, convenience sample, this study surveyed 159 social workers in Alaska to assess their attitudes and their perceptions of the effects of climate change on their clients and constituents. Results indicate that social workers in Alaska believe that climate change is happening, that human activities are responsible, and that it is a large threat to people in Alaska. Over 75% believe that climate change is dangerous for their clients now or will be dangerous in 10 years. Social workers report that in the past year their clients or constituents have experienced multiple climate change‐related problems with community infrastructure, health, and mental health.

阿拉斯加的气候变化:社会工作者的态度,信念和经验

由于气候变化,阿拉斯加和北美北极地区的平均温度上升速度是全球平均温度的两倍,从而导致自然环境发生变化,从而影响人们和社区的身体,社会和情感健康。社会工作者必须准备好应对。本研究使用非概率便利性样本,对阿拉斯加的159名社会工作者进行了调查,以评估他们对气候变化对客户和选民影响的态度和看法。结果表明,阿拉斯加的社会工作者相信气候变化正在发生,人类活动是负责任的,并且对阿拉斯加人民构成了巨大威胁。超过75%的人认为气候变化现在对他们的客户是危险的,或者在10年内将是危险的。
