TL;DR: This study finds that participatory processes appear to work better in the context of decisions that are short-term and easily adjusted, such as water-allocation decisions, and do not work so well for longer-term, high-stakes decisions regarding infrastructure.

TL;DR: The international examples reviewed in this workshop demonstrated an interesting case of convergent evolution, where organizations that were very different in origin evolved toward similar structures and individuals engaged in them had similar experiences to share, providing evidence that boundary organizations and boundary-spanners fill some social/institutional roles that are independent of culture.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that academia is poorly positioned to address sustainability problems because of anachronistic pedagogy, mismatched incentives, insufficient expertise, lack of personal commitment, and insular products and communication.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the spatial distribution of flood hazards and analyze how past experience contributed to community flood readiness and find that there was a negative correlation between past flood experience and residents' flood readiness.
