| Abstract | Title:Social Work's Contribution to Achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Author:Tshwarelo Amelia Pitso, Department of Social Development The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require a multifaceted approach to achieve social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Social work plays a crucial role in addressing poverty, inequality, and social injustice, making it essential for achieving the SDGs. This paper examines social work's pivotal role in achieving the SDGs, focusing on poverty reduction, health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, and climate action. Through a review of empirical research and conceptual frameworks, we explore how social work practices like community engagement, advocacy, and capacity building contribute to SDG attainment. Our analysis highlights the importance of integrating social work principles and practices into sustainable development initiatives, promoting human rights, social justice, and environmental stewardship. The findings suggest that social work can accelerate progress toward the SDGs, fostering a more equitable and sustainable world. By leveraging social work's strengths in community engagement, advocacy, and empowerment, we can build more resilient and sustainable communities. Social work is essential for achieving the SDGs, and its principles and practices should be integrated into sustainable development initiatives. This paper concludes that social work's unique perspective and expertise are critical in promoting a more equitable and sustainable world. By recognizing social work's contribution to the SDGs, we can harness its potential to drive meaningful change and achieve the 2030 Agenda. |
