This article aims to analyze ecological economics as a complex adaptive system by integrating principles of evolutionary biology, with the goal of understanding the dynamics of coevolution between socioeconomic and ecological systems under biophysical constraints. A qualitative, theoretical-explanatory methodology is employed, based on transdisciplinary literature review and abductive reasoning, drawing on a corpus of specialized scientific literature. The results show that economic systems operate through evolutionary mechanisms of variation, selection, and retention, conditioned by nonlinear dynamics, thermodynamic limits, and multiscale interactions. It is concluded that sustainability must be understood as a dynamic co-evolutionary process, which implies moving beyond linear approaches and adopting analytical frameworks grounded in complexity, resilience, and institutional diversity.
