Bermuda

Bermuda is a high-income territory lying in an isolate geographic location in the middle of the Atlantic. This brings with it a range of challenges that make it incomparable with most other jurisdictions in the Caribbean and beyond. The territory is highly sensitive to climate change, even if its role as a financial centre means it is home to a large insurance industry.

From an economic perspective, Bermuda continues to demonstrate resilience while navigating opportunities to further advance inclusive and sustainable growth. As the country evolves within a dynamic global context, there is scope to strategically assess and optimize the size and role of the Government of Bermuda in supporting economic development, fostering innovation, and ensuring that growth outcomes are broadly shared across all segments of society.

The Multi-Country Resident Coordinator’s Office, serving Jamaica, The Bahamas, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands, is based in Jamaica and operates under the leadership of a single United Nations Resident Coordinator. In close collaboration with UN country teams and a wide range of national and regional partners, the Office drives a coordinated and strategic approach to advancing sustainable development, strengthening partnerships, and delivering impactful results across the Caribbean.

The United Nations system is well positioned to deliver results for Bermuda through its formalized participation in the joint framework, the UN Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (MSDCF) for the Caribbean, which provides a strategic platform for coordinated, impactful engagement.

Building on this, the United Nations Country Team, led by the Multi-Country Resident Coordinator’s Office in Jamaica, is well positioned to coordinate the expansion of tailored development support aligned with Bermuda’s unique needs and priorities, while leveraging the UN system’s convening and mobilizing capacity to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Bermuda’s national strategic objectives.
