Ecosystem Services Score and Natural Capital Resilience 1997-2021

The Ecosystem Services score plays a pivotal role in gauging the vulnerability of a nation's natural capital to the impacts of climate change—essential ecological resources that sustain human lives and livelihoods. This comprehensive assessment considers various indicators to provide a holistic view of the ecological landscape. Projected changes in biome distribution and marine biodiversity offer insights into the potential shifts in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The evaluation of natural capital dependency and ecological footprint sheds light on the extent to which human activities rely on and impact these vital resources. The assessment of protected biomes reflects a commitment to conservation efforts, while engagement in international environmental conventions signifies a nation's dedication to global cooperation in addressing climate-related challenges. Together, these indicators contribute to a nuanced understanding of a country's vulnerability in the realm of ecosystem services amid the changing climate scenario.
