In the effort towards sustainability, it has become increasingly
important to develop conceptual frames to understand the dynamics
of social and ecological systems. Drawing on complex systems
theory, this book investigates how human societies deal with change
in linked social-ecological systems, and build capacity to adapt to
change. The concept of resilience is central in this context.
Resilient social-ecological systems have the potential to sustain
development by responding to and shaping change in a manner that
does not lead to loss of future options. Resilient systems also
provide capacity for renewal and innovation in the face of rapid
transformation and crisis. The term navigating in the title is
meant to capture this dynamic process. Case studies and examples
from several geographic areas, cultures and resource types are
included, merging forefront research from natural sciences, social
sciences and the humanities into a common framework for new
insights on sustainability.
