Focusing the Meaning(s) of Resilience: Resilience as a Descriptive Concept and a Boundary Object
Fridolin S. Brand,Kurt Jax +1 more
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the variety of definitions of resilience within sustainability science and suggested a typology according to the specific degree of normativity of the concept of resilience, and argued that a clearly specified, descriptive concept is critical in providing a counterbalance to the use of resilience as a vague boundary object.
Journal ArticleDOI
From complex systems analysis to transformational change: a comparative appraisal of sustainability science projects
TL;DR: In this article, the theory and promise of sustainability science through a comparative appraisal of five empirical sustainability science projects is explored. But, the evaluation of these projects is based on an evaluative framework, and the results indicate accomplishments regarding problem focus and basic transformational research methodology, but also highlight deficits regarding stakeholder participation, actionable results and larger impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical natural capital revisited: Ecological resilience and sustainable development
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisited the concept of critical natural capital and examined its relation to ecological resilience, and suggested that the degree of ecological resilience is inversely related to the level of threat ecosystems are prone to.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk, vulnerability, robustness, and resilience from a decision-theoretic perspective
TL;DR: The approach presented here allows us to precisely relate different types of risk, vulnerability, robustness and resilience, and considers all concepts together as part of adaptive risk management.
