The UN Sustainable Development Goals: are they indeed achievable? Not without the fifth element, space!
Listen to Space For The Earth (Charlie Roscoe Remix) by Ozric Tentacles and Charlie Roscoe to best enjoy reading this post.
In 2015, all the involved nations signed the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), a program of seventeen ambitious objectives aimed at solving the most painful troubles of our world. The agreement was also on their due date, the year 2030. How far are we after almost ten years?
Well, we could be better positioned. Wars, pandemics, geopolitical shocks: in recent years, humanity hasn’t had much time for international cooperation and global investments to improve the lives of others and the health of the planet.
However, not all is lost. The world can still try to fulfill the entire agenda just by increasing the exploitation of our fifth element: space!
I put together the current and potential benefits of leveraging outer space to reach the SDGs by 2030 and beyond in the revised Space4Earth page. Don’t be afraid about the page length since SDGs are seventeen (plus one), and, as said in the Spacepolitans Manifesto, space can provide crucial resources to meet all of them.
Did I arouse your curiosity? So, jump to the page and have a look!
What’s the next Becoming Spacepolitans section to be updated? After a long list of concrete contributions, let’s dig into a philosophical topic: the Overview Effect! Did you never hear about it? Just wait a few days (yes, days, I promise!), and everything will be clear. Did you already hear about it? Just wait a few days, and you will discover more about it!
