☄️ In a recent financialtimes feature, The Runaway Debris Threat to Space Technology, Peggy Hollinger explores the mounting risks of space debris and the solutions available to safeguard space operations.  Director Aarti Holla-Maini highlights that international guidelines for sustainable space activities already exist and it’s time to translate paper into practice. She said:

📢 "All of the rules of the road for sustainable space activities have been put at the disposal of Member States. Implementation and enforcement, however, has to be done at the national level. We need Member States to step up."

The Guidelines on the Long-Term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities, agreed by COPUOS in 2019, along with the Space Debris Mitigation Guidelines agreed in 2007, provide the tools to ensure safe and sustainable of space activities.  For more information on these, see:
