Title

Assuring a Safe, Secure, and Sustainable Space Environment for Space Activities

Description

Space Activities provide a wealth of increasing benefits for people on Earth. However space actors have come to realize that in order to continue the many benefits the world community has come to depend on, the international community will have to develop the technical, legal, policy, and political means to keep a safe, secure, and sustainable space environment. This session will explore the progress being made within multilateral fora, the private sector, and individual countries in reaching a safe, secure, and sustainable space environment. It will especially examine activities within the UN Committee for the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space; the European Union proposed Code of Conduct for Space Activities, and other efforts to create the conditions for this desire end.
