Exploring the changes ahead for Jersey and Guernsey. Are we ready?
One question. Every month.
ARE OUR ISLANDS READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT?
The next decade will bring some of the biggest changes Jersey and Guernsey have ever faced.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the way we work and live. Climate change is increasing pressure on our environment and infrastructure. Global instability is disrupting the supply chains our islands depend on. Our populations are ageing, our workforces are changing and healthcare is under increasing pressure.
These changes are not happening somewhere else. They are happening here.
The question is not whether they will affect our islands.
The question is whether we are ready.
One question every month
Island Ready is an independent initiative exploring the changes ahead for Jersey and Guernsey, what they could mean for our islands and how prepared we are.
Each month, we take one important question and explore the evidence, hear different perspectives and consider what it could mean here.
Our aim is simple: to bring the issues shaping our future into sharper focus in Jersey and Guernsey - exploring what they mean for our islands, how prepared we are and what choices lie ahead.
The latest question
QUESTION 01: What does climate change actually mean for Jersey and Guernsey?
September 2026
Climate change is already reshaping the world around us, but what will it actually mean for island communities like Jersey and Guernsey?
From rising sea levels, wildlife and health to our homes, transport, food, water and energy supplies, we explore how our islands could be affected - and how prepared we are for the changes ahead.
Explore the evidence, hear different perspectives and join the conversation.
Why Island Ready?
Many of the biggest changes facing Jersey and Guernsey are already under way. But understanding their local implications - and the scale and pace of change - does not always keep up.
Island Ready brings those issues closer to home. We examine the evidence and ask what is changing, what it could mean for Jersey and Guernsey, how quickly its effects could be felt and how prepared our islands are.
What happens next is for individuals, communities, businesses and decision-makers to determine. Our role is to help make those choices better informed.
