Live Session 1:
Addressing climate change and environmental issues through space technology

Theme: Aiming for sustainable social growth in Asia Pacific Region

Session Concept:

  • According to the 6th assessment report of IPCC there is no doubt that human activity is the main cause of global warming since the second half of the 20th century.
  • Climate change and its large-scale disasters are affecting the Asia Pacific Region environment, agriculture, forests and the impacts are accentuated by human activities.
  • Space Technology is able to contribute to MRV (measurement, reporting and validation) on the changes that occurred since the last decades,
  • The observations can be used to improve our understanding of the effects of climate change, in order to define measures of adaptation and mitigation including reduction of GHG emissions.
  • Space agency and authorities in each country need to enhance human resources, targeted on the young generation expected to play a leading role in each country in the future.
  • This is also aiming to promote APRSAF Nagoya Vision which are solutions for social issues as well as diverse linkage.

Innovation for Sustainable Development in the Asia-Pacific Region

Theme: Policy and Business for Promoting Space Activities Together with Space Technology

1. Session Objective

In this session, to realize the APRSAF Nagoya Vision, we will confirm the need to continue activities that provide new value to society through open space innovation, which will realize sustainable space activities that contribute to solving a broad range of social issues on the ground and sustainable socio-economic development.
