In this video, we will be talking about socio-ecological systems which we define as a type of complex adaptive system composed of two primary subdomains, a human society and economy on the one hand and a biological ecology. We talk about how the two systems are governed by different internal feedback loops, on the one hand those of the economy and on the other those of thermodynamics and the ecology. How the interaction between these two systems involves the exchange of energy, matter and information. We will discuss how creating integrated balancing feedback loops between them requires defining some form of common value, what is often called natural capital but how the maintenance of ecosystem services invariably involves some form of commons, that is best managed through social institutions that can build trust and enable cooperation towards effective global outcomes. Finally, we mention the cultural dimension that can play a very significant role in its capacity to change how people see the world, enabling better relations between the social and ecological domains.
