Social capital is considered important for resilience across social levels, including communities, yet insights are scattered across disciplines. This meta-synthesis of 187 studies examines conceptual and empirical understandings of how social capital relates to resilience, identifying implications for community resilience and climate change practice. Different conceptualisations are highlighted, yet also limited focus on underlying dimensions of social capital and proactive types of resilience for engaging with the complex climate change challenge. Empirical insights show that structural and socio-cultural aspects of social capital, multiple other factors and formal actors are all important for shaping the role of social capital for guiding resilience outcomes. Thus, finding ways to work with these different elements is important. Greater attention on how and why outcomes emerge, interactions between factors, approaches of formal actors and different socio-cultural dimensions will advance understandings about how to nurture social capital for resilience in the context of climate change.
社会资本被认为在包括社区在内的各个社会层面的韧性中都很重要，但相关见解在不同学科中分散存在。本元分析综合了 187 项研究，考察了社会资本与韧性之间的关系的概念和实证理解，确定了其对社区韧性和气候变化实践的意义。研究突出了不同的概念化，但也仅限于关注社会资本的潜在维度和积极应对复杂气候变化挑战的韧性类型。实证研究的结果表明，社会资本的结构性和社会文化方面、其他多种因素和正式行为体对于塑造社会资本在指导韧性结果方面的作用都很重要。因此，找到与这些不同元素合作的方法很重要。更多地关注结果是如何以及为何出现的、因素之间的相互作用、正式行为体的方法以及不同的社会文化维度，将有助于了解如何在气候变化背景下培养社会资本以增强韧性。
