“Space For All: Sustainability & Peace, on Earth and Beyond”

12 June @ 3:00 pm - 8:00 pm UTC

Abstract:

The United Nations Committee for the Peaceful Use of Outer Space (COPOUOS) is holding 2 important sessions in springtime: the Legal SubCommittee on 15-25 April, and the General Assembly 67th on 18-28 June. Such discussions, preceding the U.N. General Assembly 79th, which will take place in September, focus on space resources. In the context of the incoming cislunar economy, the legal, scientific, and technical aspects of lunar and asteroid resources mining, extraction, property, industrial, and intellectual properties, are of primary importance.The current geopolitical conjuncture is characterized by two devastating wars at the doors of Europe, and the dawn of astropolitics, with several competing Moon initiatives. The broad support for the two main lunar initiatives – the ARTEMIS Accords and the ILRS – testify to the great interest of all the Earth’s Countries to be part of space development.

SRI and NSS, representing nearly 100 coalized co-promoters, are participating to the COPUOS sessions in Vienna, supporting a proposed 18th SDG, focused on civilian-led space development, to be added to the U.N. 2030 Agenda. With the purpose of supporting our delegation at COPUOS, we have organized a virtual round table, on the 12 of June 2024, that will be live-streamed on the Space Renaissance YouTube channel. Everybody is invited to attend and to interact with the panelists via the YouTube chat.

The event includes a broad set of topics, for 5 round-table panels:

  • use of space resources, on Earth, and in space
  • orbital debris, mature waste management, a circular blue economy on Earth, on the Moon, and in space
  • space law and private entities in space
  • sustainable benefits for all peoples of planet Earth
  • space for sustainability and peace, and sustainable space development

We call everybody to discuss with us: people from space-faring and not-yet-spacefaring countries, what your expected benefits from space development, and what your contribution to human evolution into a spacefaring civilization.
