“Biosphere Integrity refers to the capacity of ecosystems across the planet to support life and maintain the overall health and stability of the Earth system, [which] depends on the health, diversity, and interactions of the organisms that make up these ecosystems.” (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, 2025) Biosphere integrity includes the “diversity, extent, and health of living organisms and ecosystems [affecting] the state of the planet [which] co-regulates the energy balance and chemical cycles on Earth. Disrupting biodiversity threatens this co-regulation and dynamic stability.” (Stockholm Resilience Centre, 2025)
