On Earth Day 2021, Bermuda’s leaders lauded the Government’s climate initiative for emphasising environmental responsibility while also encouraging sustainable, equitable growth. The Government’s initiative includes: reducing the country’s carbon footprint; protecting the country’s environment and fragile ecosystem; increasing adaptability and resilience; and investing in climate-focused efforts.

Bermuda and the Changing Landscape of Climate Risk
As part of the Bermuda Business Development Agency’s (BDA) climate risk finance initiative, we, in association with RIMS, the risk management society, held a webinar in June 2021 entitled: “Bermuda and the Changing Landscape of Climate Risk”. Building on the BDA’s first climate risk panel in 2020, this was moderated by BDA Chair, Stephen Weinstein and featured other climate risk experts.

Bermuda specialises in bringing capital and innovation together.

Climate Risk Finance
Bermuda has taken on the challenge of becoming the world’s Climate Risk Finance capital. This was a natural development based on our over three decades of expertise in risk management of weather-related catastrophes. We are also an island, approximately 600 nautical miles away from the closest point of land, and home to the world’s longest running ocean observation and data research centre.

Asset Management
Bermuda is a world-class financial centre suitable for both traditional and alternative investments including funds, private equity and insurance-linked securities. As a transparent, blue-chip jurisdiction, Bermuda’s innovative legislation and regulatory developments continue to draw top US and European groups to domicile or have interests in Bermuda.

High-Net-Worth Services
Putting experience, discretion and compliance at its core, Bermuda is a premier jurisdiction for trusts, family offices and other private client structures. With a risk-based, rather than rules-based, regulatory framework and with internationally recognised trustees and lawyers all located on-island, Bermuda is a leading international trust jurisdiction.

Work from Bermuda Certificate (WFB)
Bermuda’s resilient response to the global pandemic meant the island remained open, despite COVID-19. Speed to market was key, and we worked-remotely, while other jurisdictions closed for business. As a result, the Bermuda Government launched the work from Bermuda certificate which invites remote workers, and their dependent family members, to spend a year on our safe, secure and stable island.

Economic Investment Certificate (EIC)
Bermuda is an ideal jurisdiction to live, work and play. Launched in mid-2021, the Economic Investment Certificate (EIC) enables individuals, and their dependants, who invest $2.5 million in certain Bermuda industries, sectors, charities, or government programs to receive residency rights for five years. After five years, certificate holders can apply for a Residential Certificate.

EIC & WFB Success
The Bermuda Business Development Agency (BDA) has been assisting Government with its Work From Bermuda (WFB) and Economic Investment Certificate (EIC) Initiatives. Both WFB and the EIC have experienced great successes in the short time they have been in existence (WFB since August 2020 and EIC since April 2021) due to Bermuda’s proactive and sensible approach to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
The Bermuda Angle: Stephen Catlin
Hear from insurance titan and Convex CEO and Founder Stephen Catlin. Mr. Catlin, speaks about commercial reinsurance, and Bermuda’s unique work culture in this episode of ‘The Bermuda Angle’.

Meeting safely in Bermuda
Bermuda is open for business. From remote workers to business travellers, Bermuda’s COVID-19 protocols have allowed individuals to safely meet on island. From a rigorous testing regime to a newly opened airport with an Airports Council International (ACI) Airport Health Accreditation programme.
