On 19 April 2024, Alfred Anzaldua gave a short presentation at COPUOS Legal SubCommittee in Vienna. on behalf of the NSS International Committee, SRI, and the Space 18th SDG Coalition. Watch the speech here, on the United Nations web tv.

Alfred has called for a circular blue economy in space and on Earth, emphasizing how the lessons (best practices) learned by communities living and working in space may be useful on Earth too.

Namely, he said that GREEN practices are not enough. Yet a Renewable Space Economy Tactics (ReSpEcT) = ZERO waste accumulation, is very much needed, in space and on Earth. Alfred also called for Orbital Debris salvage, repair, refurbishing, and reuse.

Worth remembering, the Space 18th SDG initiative is made in honor of the late David Dunlop, who promoted the 18th SDG concept in 2018.

The Space 18th SDG Coalition is growing each day! thanks to our restless work, there are now 75 organizations, and counting!

Today may be a beautiful day to join the Space 18th SDG Coalition!
