Climate Scenario Reports and Interactive Tool Launched for ABC Islands and St. Maarten

New climate scenario reports have been launched for Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten, providing localized projections of how climate change will affect each island. The reports have been made available in local languages — Papiamento and Dutch — to ensure broader public accessibility and understanding. An interactive climate scenario tool has also been introduced, allowing residents, policymakers, and planners to explore projected climate data for their specific islands. The initiative aims to equip island communities and governments with actionable climate information tailored to their unique geographic and social contexts. The reports and tool are particularly significant given the islands' vulnerability to rising sea levels, increased hurricane intensity, and shifting rainfall patterns. Having localized, accessible climate data is expected to support better long-term planning in areas such as infrastructure, water management, and disaster preparedness. The launch marks a meaningful step toward climate resilience in the Dutch Caribbean region.
