A New Systems Thinking Approach to Sustainable Resource Management

A New Systems Thinking Approach to Sustainable Resource Management by Kok Siew Ng, Elias Martinez Hernandez, and Aki Yamaguchi offers an urgent, practical roadmap for tackling complex environmental challenges with clarity and impact.

This book opens with a compelling framework that reframes resource management through systems thinking—linking ecology, economy, and social systems to reveal feedback loops, unintended consequences, and leverage points. Clear explanations and applied models make abstract concepts tangible, helping readers see how integrated strategies produce resilient outcomes.

Ideal for practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and graduate students, the text translates theory into action: decision-makers will find tools for cross-sector planning; environmental managers gain scalable methods for water, land, and energy stewardship; and academics will appreciate rigorous conceptual foundations that support interdisciplinary research. Real-world examples demonstrate how the approach enhances sustainability in urban and rural settings across the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Latin America, making it geo-relevant for both local planners and global strategists.

Readers will walk away equipped to design adaptive policies, reduce resource conflicts, and improve long-term outcomes through evidence-based systems interventions. The book prioritizes clarity, practical guidance, and measurable change—perfect for anyone committed to sustainable resource management, resilience building, and policy innovation.
