Awareness-raising and capacity-building related to the implementation of the Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities
The "Awareness-raising and capacity-building related to the implementation of the Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities" Project
The "Awareness-raising and capacity-building related to the implementation of the Guidelines for the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities" Project of UNOOSA seeks to raise global awareness of the importance of space sustainability and to foster related capacity-building for all nations.
The Project is delivered in the context of the landmark Guidelines for the Long-Term Sustainability Outer Space Activities of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, adopted in 2019. The LTS Guidelines, welcomed with appreciation by the UN General Assembly, include a preamble and 21 guidelines that address: a) policy and regulatory framework; b) safety of space operations; c) international cooperation, capacity building and awareness; and d) scientific and technical research and development.
Update: The latest deliverable under this project is the Long-term Sustainability of Outer Space Information Repository. This is an open-source tool that aims to build transparency, confidence and capacity. There is an open call for new submissions to the Repository. Please consider sharing your information and views.
Sponsor: This Project is made possible through generous support provided by the United Kingdom Space Agency.
Please see the UNOOSA/UKSA press release of 26 January 2021, which kicked off this multi-phase project.
