Can anyone refer to studies related to implementation of 'green social work' concepts in practice? I am particularly interested in evaluation of interventions based on green social work ideas.

I agree - check out all of Lena's work - has written some excellent pieces on this and community development.
Tetyana,
i have just completed a Masters dissertation addressing "Agency and Alliance in the Anthropocene: implications for practice, education and enquiry in social work" and have been in part asking the same question you have raised. I have included some of material that has informed and shaped my enquiry and i hope some it might be of use to you. I agree with the the other respondents that Lina Dominelli's work is a useful and informative and i would suggest that Fred Besthorn and John Coates work is also worth engaging with.
I am tentatively developing my interest in this area of social work towards a doctoral research project. Maybe we could stay in touch? all the best with your work!

Thank you, colleagues, for the broad reference list. I am aware about Dominelli's works. I just needed something more and you had provided me a good selection of publications. I really appreciate your support.
Thank you for sharing references on this innovative approach to social work practice
Дуже важливо розуміти значення соціальних програм у забезпеченні сталого розвитку, взаємозв'язку економічних, екологічних та соціальних вимірів суспільства
Думаю, тут дуже важливо врахувати концепцію сталого розвитку та спроможності громад. Це дасть змогу по-іншому поглянути на діяльність соціальних працівників у громаді
Dear colleagues,
thank you for your insightful comments and recommendations.
Best Andrea
