The island’s vulnerabilities to climate change have been mapped online with a detailed chart allowing users to zoom in on areas at varying levels of risk from rising seas and more powerful storms.

The Government’s geographic information system offers a series of viewing options, with colour-coded risks from 50 to 100 years, ranging from coastlines to the Pembroke catchment area to Bermuda as a whole.

As examples, the map shows the low-lying Mill Creek area in Pembroke, prone to flooding during heavy rains, at “very high” vulnerability within 50 years.

It shows Watford Bridge at the West End at “high”, along with the Causeway, while the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo in Flatts ranks at “moderate” vulnerability.

The map displays estimated risks for roads and buildings, designed to “enhance understanding and inform action based on the findings of the recently published Climate Change and Its Impact on Bermuda Study” released last month, a spokesman said.

“The GIS platform provides an interactive and accessible tool for visualising the various data layers that were created for the commissioning of the climate change study.”

These include the projected sea-level rise and its impact on Bermuda's coastline and infrastructure; vulnerability assessments for communities, ecosystems and key industries; and climate adaptation measures and priority areas for intervention.

Walter Roban, the home affairs minister, said it “not only complements the findings of our climate change study but also empowers residents, businesses, and policymakers with the tools they need to make informed decisions”.
