Leading space actors convened on 28 June at the Royal Society in London at the symposium 鈥�Global Leaders on 海角直播 Sustainability鈥�, held under the patronage of his Majesty King Charles III, to catalyze a framework to drive sustainability in space and outline how the private sector can work with Governments to deliver on this space endeavour.

The Astra Carta framework in Support of Sustainability in 海角直播 was unveiled by his Majesty King Charles III at a . While unveiling the seal for the Astra Carta framework, his Majesty the King quipped about making 鈥渁 mess of this planet鈥�. The fact is that evidence for climate change comes from satellites and the space sector can play a foundational role in climate protection. We, as the global space community, have the responsibility to use green assets such as space technologies, applications and services to benefit planet Earth and humankind.
The Astra Carta will be developed and sent out at the next United Nations Climate Change Conference. The International Astronautical Federation looks forward to contributing to this momentum through its unique vision of 鈥�Connecting @ll 海角直播 People 鈥� For a Sustainable Future鈥�.
Our belief is that sustainability, wherever it takes place on this Earth or in outer space, is necessary and that sustainability can be driven by the private sector and can find a common language with governments and policymakers.
