Climate Science

Rising ocean temperatures are driving unprecedented changes in marine ecosystems, sea levels, and weather patterns. As heat continues to transform our oceans, fish stocks and other local food supply will diminish, adding to human and environmental health risks and a downturn in the traditional Bahamian economy we know and enjoy today.

In 2025 and beyond, climate change will become a more common part of our national conversation. The BMHNS will promote programs and events to support the creation of a “climate adaptation culture” within our society. There is no single “solution” for climate change, and in conjunction with our network of global partnerships, the BMHNS will bring young talented cohorts together to create specific programs that teach Bahamians how to live with climate instability and develop strategies that will take us into the future with confidence, awareness, and foresight. Our commitment is to produce educational programs for K1 through tertiary level.
