NAT.C02 Indigenous people' rights
About the data
Indigenous peoples may be particularly vulnerable to the adverse impacts associated with project development, including risk of impoverishment and loss of identity, culture and natural resource-based livelihoods (IFC, 2012d). Protecting and securing Indigenous Peoples’ rights has been recognised as crucial to advancing conservation, restoration and climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies (WRI, 2019).
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 WikiRating will be 5.
Formula
score = (x) -> if x == "Yes" 10 else 0 weights = [0.25, 0.25, 0.25, 0.25] indigenous_peoples_rights = [commitment, impact_identification, requirements, practices] weights.reduce((weighted_sum, weight, index) -> weighted_sum + weight*score(indigenous_peoples_rights[index]) , 0)
