Resilience of social-ecological systems is defined as their capacity to endure shocks and stressors without losing defining, desirable, functionalities. The complex, global impacts of Covid-19, resulting from interactions between the social and biophysical world, provide a rare opportunity to explore how such interactions affect systemic resilience to major disturbances. This study investigates attributes at this human-environmental intersection that have been associated with increased societal resilience. Our multi-phase approach includes literature reviews, synthesis, content analysis, stakeholder interviews, and the development of fuzzy cognitive maps. We identify and analyze key pandemic impacts, factors of resilience, and relationships between them. Findings, focusing on a case study from Taiwan,  provide valuable insights for policymakers and researchers seeking to enhance societal resilience in the face of future crises.
