Space Exploration and Sustainable Development
How does space exploration and development impact progress towards achieving the UN SDGs?
This project strives to understand how space exploration can support an equitable and sustainable future aligned with global environmental and social goals. This study uses the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)s as a framework for research that will inform the creation of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) benchmarks to guide the burgeoning space industry towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices at an early stage of industry development.
