Welcome to the United Nations
Input to the High-Level Political Forum in 2022
“The “Space2030 Agenda: space as a driver of sustainable development and its implementation plan, adopted by the General Assembly in its resolution 76/3, is a forward-looking strategy for reaffirming and strengthening the contribution of space activities of States members of the Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space in the use of space tools for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”
The input considers the integrated, indivisible and interlinked nature of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular the SDG 4 Ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning, 5 Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls, 14 Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources and 15 Sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, halt and reverse land degradation, halt biodiversity loss, from a perspective of the space activities as tools to the achievement of such goals.
As stated in Paragraph 6. The “Space2030” Agenda and implementation plan is submitted “as a forward-looking strategy for reaffirming and strengthening the contribution of space activities and space tools to the achievement of global agendas, addressing long-term sustainable development concerns of humankind”.
The four overarching objectives of the “Space2030” Agenda are structured around the four pillars of space economy, space society, space accessibility and space diplomacy. These four pillars are complementary and mutually reinforcing.
Overarching objective 1: Enhance space-derived economic benefits and strengthen the role of the space sector as a major driver of sustainable development
Overarching objective 2: Harness the potential of space to solve everyday challenges and leverage space-related innovation to improve the quality of life
Overarching objective 3: Improve access to space for all and ensure that all countries can benefit socioeconomically from space science and technology applications and space-based data, information and products, thereby supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals
Overarching objective 4: Build partnerships and strengthen international cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space and in the global governance of outer space activities
