The aim of this study was to explore the extent and nature of social work literature relating to eco-emotions. Eco-emotions refer to a diverse array of emotional responses to climate change, for example, anxiety, anger and hope. A scoping review explored scholarly databases to examine literature relating to eco-emotions between 2000 and 2023. Data were extracted from the articles to synthesise key characteristics, and thematic analysis was undertaken to identify themes emerging from the data. The scoping review yielded a total of seven articles with a focus on worry, anxiety, hope and empathy. Themes identified were related to intergenerational relationships, eco-emotional fluidity and multidimensional practice. Drawing on the profession's established knowledge base, eco-social work provides a framework for engaging with eco-emotions. Furthermore, acknowledging eco-emotions specific to First Nations peoples in the context of colonialism and incorporating Indigenous knowledges to improve planetary health are essential for a decolonised approach to eco-emotional practice. Given social work's increasing engagement with climate change, this review highlights the need for greater awareness of and engagement with eco-emotions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research systematic review tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
