    Title

    Space Sustainability

    type

    oral

    Description

    Sustainability of space activities is a precondition that the generations to come will continue benefiting from various space applications. It requires a comprehensive approach and efficient mechanisms aimed at ensuring its implementation and enforcement. However, there is not a universally agreed understanding of exactly what this concept entails. As example, the UN Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities provide important contextual standards but leave open questions as to the precise actions that should be taken to implement them into practice. This session reacts to these uncertainties and seeks to focus on fundamental questions regarding space sustainability including the following: What are/should be the specific elements of space sustainability? What goals should actions to implement space sustainability be directed towards? How should the essential requirements be implemented into practice? What is the practical and legal impact of the Long-term Sustainability Guidelines and what major issues do they raise? What additional mechanisms might be necessary and how should they be developed?"
