【内容提要】近年来，环境社会工作研究呈现出较快的发展态势，但存在学术脉络尚不明晰和概念混杂等问题。相较西方环境社会工作的反思性与反压迫性，中国环境社会工作主要面向社会建设，致力于为推进生态文明建设提供实务支持。与绿色社会工作和生态社会工作等概念相比，环境社会工作是一种以温和的环境正义观为价值基础，追求人类社会可持续发展的社会工作模式。在生态文明建设背景下，我国环境社会工作以建立人与自然和谐共生的可持续性社会为目标，以缓解生产生活对自然环境的负面影响为行动内容，以理念倡导、信息整合、知识挖掘等为行动策略，推进多元主体的生态自觉，激发环境治理与绿色发展的内生动力。

Origins and Conceptual Examination of Environmental Social Work：A Comparative Research Perspective

Abstract: In recent years, environmental social work has shown rapid development,but issues such as unclear academic trajectory and conceptual confusion still persist.Compared to the reflective and anti-oppressive characteristics of Western environmental social work, China’s environmental social work primarily focuses on social development, aiming to provide practical support for promoting ecological civilization. In contrast to related concepts such as green social work and ecological social work, environmental social work is a model of social work based on a moderate view of environmental justice, striving for the sustainable development of human society.Under the backdrop of ecological civilization construction, environmental social work in China aims to establish a sustainable society where humans and nature coexist harmoniously. It focuses on mitigating the negative impact of production and daily life on the natural environment and adopts strategies such as advocacy, information integration, and knowledge extraction to promote ecological consciousness among multiple stakeholders, thereby stimulating the internal drive for environmental governance and green development.
