Benedict Bueb is a native German speaker who also works in English and Spanish.

At Ecologic Institute, Benedict Bueb is the project manager of the INTERLACE project. The project, funded by the European Commission's Horizon 2020 program, fosters international cooperation to restore urban ecosystems through NBS in Latin America and Europe.

In his research, he is involved in the KliMaWerk project, investigating measures and strategies for climate resilience of watercourses and their acceptance. In the WADKlim project, he assesses the risk of water-based conflicts resulting from droughts and water scarcity in Germany, as well as potential measures to mitigate them. In addition, he supports the project Digital Water City, exploring the potential of data and digital technologies to enhance the sustainability in the water management of five major European cities.

The project "Climate Adaptation Naturally Nature-based Solutions for Municipalities" aims to communicate the potential of nature-based solutions for climate adaptation in cities and municipalities in a targeted manner and to support cities and municipalities in the implementation of such solutions with the help of practice-oriented applications. The project primarily addresses climate adaptation managers in the municipalities, but also representatives from urban planning and development, green space offices and nature conservation authorities, education and culture, water and wastewater management.
