TL;DR: With n being the dimension of the algebraic equations, the resulting algorithms are of an efficient O(n) computational complexity per iteration, without the need for any inner iterations, and essentially converge quadratically.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize key points raised in a series of discussions among "adaptation leaders" from fourteen cities around the world, highlighting the need for political commitment at multiple levels of government, information and data as a basis for understanding potential risks and vulnerabilities, meaningful and effective stakeholder engagement shaped by local contexts, and sustained financial and staff resources that are sensitive to urban variability.

TL;DR: In this paper , an intersectional pivot in climate adaptation research and practice is proposed to analyze the interconnected forms of social-environmental injustices that drive vulnerabilities in cities, paving the way for more concrete and integrated strategies of just urban adaptation and transformation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the current status of governance studies in the context of climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction, and highlight the need for future research on the socio-ecological, spatial/scalar, and political dimensions of EbA and Eco-DRR.

TL;DR: This article examined the initiation and development of adaptation planning in two cities in the global south: Durban and Quito, and found that action in nascent policy domains is motivated by endogenous factors and sustained by taking advantage of opportunities rising and creatively linking new agendas to existing goals, plans, and programs.
