Pathways to Sustainability (Utrecht University)’s Post

🚀 Congratulations to Glasgow for hosting the Space-Comm Expo this week! Here’s looking forward to the next one in London 11-12 March 2025! 🚀 As a reminder of the growth in this sector and the breadth of topics covered, on 30 August 2024 the Report of the Sixty-seventh Session of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS) was published. The committee convened from June 19 to 28, 2024, in Vienna and addressed crucial topics in space governance and technology, highlighting both ongoing challenges and emerging issues in the field. Topics were split up as follows: A. Maintaining Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes ☮ B. Report of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee 🔭 C. Report of the Legal Subcommittee 📒 D. Space and Sustainable Development 🌲 E. Spin-Off Benefits of Space Technology 🌱 F. Space and Water 🌊 G. Space and Climate Change 🌏 H. Use of Space Technology in the UN System 🚀 I. Future Role and Method of Work of the Committee 🛰 J. Space Exploration and Innovation 🎆 K. "Space2030" Agenda The discussions are summarised in the attached document or if you would prefer to read the full report, it can be reached here: https://lnkd.in/exGCH2Kj 

Space is transversal and omnipresent. Space policy *is* climate policy, economic policy, agricultural policy, energy policy, foreign policy, and so on. A crucial element of our everyday lives, in many ways space remains niche and highly underutilised. In the next fifteen years or so, however, space – in all its multitudes – will become a household topic of discussion. There will be room for many more players with all types of expertise from across various industries. ESA must continue to push for Europe's place as a leader in this changing context.
