Businesses are already putting sustainability at the forefront of what they do on Earth and in the years ahead, the same will be applied to our activities in space as they become more accessible. Issues such as space debris and the potential risks of opening up space travel and exploration will become front of mind and solutions will have to found.
Additionally, space tech, Earth Observation and studies of other planets could hold the answer to understanding terrestrial sustainability and identifying best practice to sustain our activities on Earth.
