In attending to contemporary breakdown in human–environment relations rarely is a co-evolutionary-dynamics framing employed. Framings in terms of (i) praxis, or theory informed practical action, and (ii) systems and cybernetic intellectual traditions that evoke relational thinking and practice are also rare. This review addresses these deficiencies and highlights innovations warranted by current circumstances based on (i) understanding dualities; (ii) purposeful action in relation to practice; (iii) choosing to be reflexive; (iv) engaging in purposeful systemic praxis for governing and (iv) appreciating the interplay between systemic sensibility, systems literacy and systems thinking in practice capability. Two promising systems praxis trajectories for improving human–environment relations are explored. The case for systems thinking in practice capacity and capability development concludes the review.

在关注人类与环境关系的当代崩溃时，很少使用协进化动力学框架。以（i）实践或理论为依据的实际行动以及（ii）唤起关系性思维和实践的系统和控制论知识传统方面的框架也很少见。这项审查解决了这些缺陷，并着重指出了基于（i）对二元性的理解，当前情况所需要的创新。（ii）与实践有关的有目的的行动；（iii）选择自反；（iv）进行有目的的系统实践来支配和（iv）体会系统敏感性，系统素养和实践能力中系统思维之间的相互作用。探索了两种有希望的系统实践轨迹，以改善人与环境之间的关系。
