SPACE FOR OUR PLANET

SPACE FOR OUR PLANET

Space solutions for a sustainable world

Space. An infinite expanse of scientific knowledge awaiting discovery. For those who have ventured into Space, what often most fascinates them is the beauty and vulnerability of our planet Earth. This podcast looks at the integral role that Space has to play in the United Nations 2030 Agenda. To this end, we have interviewed 25 people from fishermen to astronauts, from students to climate experts, to examine how space technologies contribute to the attainment of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

In the race to conquer Space we should strive to ensure that our ultimate and most precious goal is a sustainable, protected, poverty-free and peaceful planet.

SPACE FOR OUR PLANET is produced by TIMKAT, under the patronage of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs -UNOOSA, with the support of the European Commission (DG DEFIS), the European Space Agency -ESA, the French space agency -CNES, NEREUS and the Canadian NGO, G.I.V.E.
