Title

International cooperation in using space for sustainable development: Towards a ‘Space2030’ agenda

Description

As the societal benefits of space technologies and applications are growing, the international community has increasingly shifted its attention to their contributions to the global agendas on sustainability and development, in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this regard, the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) has decided to develop a “Space2030” agenda and its implementation plan. This session provides the opportunity to discuss potential elements of such an agenda, especially how international cooperation in space activities can contribute to these objectives.
