ABSTRACT The “Grand Challenges for Social Work,” is a call to action for innovative responses to society’s most pressing social problems. In this article, we respond to the “Grand Challenge” of Creating Social Responses to a Changing Environment from our perspective as Indigenous scholars. Over the last several decades, diminishing natural resources, pollution, over-consumption, and the exploitation of the natural environment have led to climate change events that disproportionately affect Indigenous peoples. We present how environmental changes impact Indigenous peoples and suggest culturally relevant responses for working with Indigenous communities. We propose a decolonizing cyclical, iterative process grounded in Indigenous Ways of Knowing.

加强社会应对全球环境变化的本土观点：应对社会工作对环境变化的巨大挑战

摘要 “社会工作的重大挑战”呼吁采取行动，以创新方式应对社会最紧迫的社会问题。在本文中，我们从土著学者的角度回应了对不断变化的环境做出社会反应的“重大挑战”。在过去的几十年里，不断减少的自然资源、污染、过度消费和对自然环境的开发导致气候变化事件对原住民产生了不成比例的影响。我们介绍环境变化如何影响原住民，并建议与原住民社区合作的文化相关对策。我们提出了一个以土著人的认知方式为基础的非殖民化循环迭代过程。
