To help St. Martin prepare for the impacts of climate change, we developed the St. Martin Climate Impact Atlas<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0We created it together with the Ministry of VROMI of Sint Maarten and the University of St. Martin (USM), commissioned by the International Panel on Deltas,\u00a0Coasts\u00a0and Islands (IPDC).\u00a0The goal is to support governments, residents, communities, and other stakeholders in better understanding how climate change affects their area. This way, St. Martin can work toward becoming a more climate-resilient island in a fair, inclusive, and\u00a0equitable\u00a0way.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The island of St. Martin is divided into two autonomous territories: the\u00a0Collectivit\u00e9\u00a0de Saint-Martin in the north (French) and the Country of Sint Maarten in the south (Dutch). Because climate change affects everyone on the island, the atlas takes a whole-island approach. Wherever possible, data and insights cover the entire island. The atlas is available in English, French, and Spanish.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n

Understanding climate risks<\/h3>\n

St. Martin faces several challenges caused by climate change. Coastal flooding, heavy rainfall, and rising heat threaten the island\u2019s future,\u00a0and hurricanes\u00a0remain\u00a0a constant risk. The St. Martin Climate Impact Atlas helps\u00a0identify\u00a0and understand these different climate risks. For example: Which areas are vulnerable to flooding? Where does it get extremely hot? And who is most at risk? The atlas provides insights into these questions. With this atlas, we aim to contribute\u00a0to\u00a0a lasting\u00a0infrastructure\u00a0of climate knowledge.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why a Climate Impact Atlas for St. Martin?<\/h3>\n

Many organizations are already working to address the effects of climate change, but the available data is still limited, scattered, and often difficult to interpret. The St. Martin Climate Impact Atlas brings all available information and knowledge together in one\u00a0central place, making it easier for different sectors and stakeholders to use.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The atlas is designed to be understandable for everyone, with clear map explanations and\u00a0 stories that make complex data more relatable. Its main goal is to create a shared understanding of climate risks and impacts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What can you do with the atlas?<\/h3>\n

The St. Martin Climate Impact Atlas shows how climate change affects the island \u2014 both now and in the future. It includes maps, explanations, stories, a mind map of climate impacts, and key statistics.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
