Resilience thinking challenges us to reconsider the meaning of
sustainability in a world that must constantly adapt in the face of
gradual and at times catastrophic change. This volume further asks
environmental education and resource management scholars to
consider the relationship of environmental learning and behaviours
to attributes of resilient social-ecological systems - attributes
such as ecosystem services, innovative governance structures,
biological and cultural diversity, and social capital. Similar to
current approaches to environmental education and education for
sustainable development, resilience scholarship integrates social
and ecological perspectives.
The authors of Resilience in social-ecological systems: the role
of learning and education present a wealth of perspectives,
integrating theory with reviews of empirical studies in natural
resource management, and in youth, adult, and higher education. The
authors explore the role of education and learning in helping
social-ecological systems as they respond to change, through
adaptation and transformation. This book also serves to integrate a
growing literature on resilience and social learning in natural
resources management, with research in environmental education and
education for sustainable development.
This book was originally published as a special issue of
Environmental Education Research.
