This Special Feature is motivated by the rigorous, and growing, theoretical and empirical body of literature on social-ecological traps. Building on the foundational literature, which describes the context in many of the places where we work, we now look forward and ask how we can better understand and enable the breaking and escaping of social-ecological traps. In this Special Feature we focus on this frontier in the field and use the trap metaphor as a unifying framework for collating empirically derived insights on overcoming challenges across diverse geographies, sectors, and social-ecological contexts. We requested contributions to this feature that, as well as possible under each context, explore tangible pathways for disrupting social-ecological traps. Thematic relevance and clear contribution to social-ecological scholarship was emphasized in the invited contributions, but authors were not constrained by methodological approach, context, geographical location, or sector. Our ambition with this editorial is to synthesize the novel insights these papers highlight and situate their contributions within the relevant literature.

超越社会生态陷阱：促进向可持续发展的转变

此特殊功能是由关于社会生态陷阱的严格，不断发展的理论和经验文献所激发的。在描述许多工作场所的基础文献的基础上，我们现在展望并询问如何更好地理解和使社会生态陷阱得以突破和逃脱。在本专题中，我们将重点放在该领域的前沿领域，并使用陷阱隐喻作为一个统一的框架，以整理基于经验得出的见解，以克服各种地理，部门和社会生态环境的挑战。我们要求对此功能做出贡献，并尽可能在每种情况下，探索破坏社会生态陷阱的切实途径。在邀请的论文中强调了主题的相关性和对社会生态学学术研究的明确贡献，但作者并未受到方法论方法，背景，地理位置或行业的限制。我们对这篇社论的抱负是要综合这些论文所强调的新颖见解，并将其贡献放在相关文献中。
