TL;DR: The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places as mentioned in this paper, which is a common refrain in the book "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review recent studies on the role of transnational municipal networks (TMNs) and discuss their potential for adaptation in light of experiences with TMN-driven mitigation programs.

TL;DR: The authors argue that how adaptation is framed, in this case by the notion of resilience, can have an important influence on agenda setting, on subsequent adaptation pathways that are pursued and on eventual adaptation outcomes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify four key barriers to effective adaptation of cities to climate change: understanding emerging scientific information about climate change hazards and their impact on cities; understanding how broader socio-economic processes influence urban vulnerabilities; integrating information of climate risk and vulnerability into local planning processes and development agendas; and the lack of suitable governance frameworks for climate risk management in cities.

TL;DR: A critical overview of the emergent field of urban climate justice which focuses on the complex links between environmental sustainability, human vulnerability and biodiversity loss in the natural environment is provided in this article.
