Act

Bender is particularly concerned with the effects of climate change, the analysis of the consequences of climate change and advising cities and municipalities. He argues that climate protection and climate adaptation must be thought together and complains that instead there is often a camp thinking between the two areas. He also emphasizes that to create resilience for complex systems , such as cities, a number of selective measures are not sufficient, but that the entire system must be made climate- resilient .
