KV-Statement_transparent_White.png

Planet Earth is unique.
It is ours.

And it is a gift, vibrant and full of life that we must cherish.

We aim to provide a foundation for the sustainable, long-term economic development of the space sector and to increase the contribution of space activities to the sustainable development of society.

We ensure that the principles and values put forward in our Statement guide our actions and activities, contributing and leading to the sustainable development of society while protecting the natural environment and life on Earth and preserving the environment of outer space.

A global commitment

Our goal is to increase the involvement of public and private stakeholders for a more inclusive approach in the space sector.

 

First adopted on 21 November 2022 at the margins of ESA's Council meeting at Ministerial Level in Paris, the Statement and the resulting collaboration aim to mobilise the actors in space to make the sector more responsible and sustainable.
