Service Description:

The indicator is a composite of food insecurity, water scarcity and air quality data.

Sometimes named ‘The Big Three’ air, water and food are essential for human survival. This trifecta of indicators was included in the BRF to measure where the most basic conditions were at risk, which can compromise working conditions and could potentially reflect badly on businesses operating in regions where these conditions might not be met.
For food insecurity, FAO data on prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the total population on a country-by-country basis was used. Please note this data source is only available on a country level. For water scarcity, the Water Risk Filter’s (WRF) data has been integrated into the Biodiversity Risk Filter without changes. See the specific risk indicator layers in the WRF methodology for more details. For air quality, Hammer's average concentrations of PM2.5 were used. PM 2.5 is the annual global surface concentrations (micrograms per cubic meter) of all composition ground-level fine particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller.

What does very high risk mean for this indicator?
Areas of very high risk have a high percentage of moderate or severe food insecurity in the total population (>57.7%); are likely to experience very high levels of water scarcity or experience more than 50 mg/m2 of PM 2.5. See the documentation for more details.
