**A biosphere refers to the global sum of all ecosystems, encompassing all living organisms and their interactions with the environment. It includes not just the Earth’s surface but extends into the atmosphere and the upper layers of the lithosphere. The biosphere is characterized by the interconnectedness of living organisms, their habitats, and the physical environments they inhabit. It is essentially the zone of life on Earth, where organisms ranging from microscopic bacteria to large animals coexist and interact with each other and their surroundings. This interconnected web of life plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of Earth’s ecosystems and the overall health of the planet.**
This aligns with one of our objectives of a policy that restricts investment to that which enhances the health and well-being of the planet and its life forms. It could be more simply expressed to say “Investments must benefit the health and well-being of the biosphere”
