ABSTRACT: In this conceptual paper, we try to take a step to explore theoretical
foundation of sustainability transformation in dimension of resilience
thinking. Firstly, this paper will reexamine the ontology of ecosystem resilience
so as to avoid the conflated view between ecosystem resilience and engineering resilience;
secondly, it will propose social-ecological evolutionary resilience as theoretical
and conceptual foundation for sustainability transformation.
