The UN has declared the ten years to 2030 the Decade on Ecosystem Restoration – a rallying call for the protection and restoration of ecosystems for the benefit of both people and nature. This indicator aligns with the SBTN interim targets on ensuring that a proportion of natural or semi-natural habitats are retained or regenerated in working lands from 2020, and areas under restoration in all ecosystems are increased.
A note on the scoring system
Wikirate uses a standardized 10-point scoring system to enable comparison of company scores across different benchmarks. In the Nature Benchmark, companies can earn 1 point per indicator, which are then added together and calculated as a percentage of the total score for a measurement area (MA) to determine the final score for the MA. The overall Wikirate score is calculated by combining these scores with the appropriate weightings, and converting them to a 10-point scale. For instance, if a company achieves a final score of 50, the corresponding Rating will be 5.
score = (x) -> if x == "Yes" 10 else 0 weights = [0.25, 0.25, 0.25, 0.25] ecosystem_restoration = [commitment, project_outcomes, time_bound_targets, project_outcomes_on_areas_beyond_own_operations] weights.reduce((weighted_sum, weight, index) -> weighted_sum + weight*score(ecosystem_restoration[index]) , 0)
