Indexing & Score Interpretation
We translate the expected damage for each feature calculated from the Resilience-Adjusted Risk Framework into a set of scores that capture both the shifting intensity of risk from the current period to 2100 as well as the adaptation capacity of each location, resulting in an overall "ground-truth" resilience profile.
These scores work like risk ratings based on a score card that scales with the intensity of the hazard, giving the absolute risk exposure of a location for one type of risk at any given scenario and time period on a scale of 0-100. Please refer to the score card above for how the scores and categories are assigned for each index. You may also download a PDF version here.
The category breaks are based on the Mean Damage Ratio (MDR) for the respective features. The higher the risk scores and category assigned for each feature, the higher the expected mean damage ratio caused by the contributing feature, and the more advanced the mitigation strategies required.
The overall scores, i.e. the Overall Physical Climate Risk Score and Overall Resilience-adjusted Risk Score, are global percentile scores that measures the overall risk profile of a location in comparison to other locations, allowing users to compare the overall risk profile of one location against another.
Example
The platform offers two set of scores: the Physical Risk Scores, where the hazard exposure is scored on a scale of 0-100, and the Resilience-Adjusted Risk Score, where local adaptation features, and societal resilience are applied to reduce the physical risk scores where applicable. The image below shows the visualization of the dashboard for one sample location.
