The source states: "Disruption risk was calculated for 19 industry sectors as classified by the World Economic Forum and their estimated contributions to cities’ GDP. Sectors were assigned disruption risk scores out of 100 based on the average number (up to 85%) of business operations disrupted by up to 27 drivers of environmental change through their impact on natural capital assets (through the form of up to 21 ecosystem services). A sector with over 80% of its production processes materially disrupted is considered “High” risk; over 55% is “Moderate” risk; and less than 55% is “Low” risk."
