Description
In 2023, the EPFL Space Center launched the Sustainable Space Hub to pioneer and steward Swiss space sustainability. By fostering interdisciplinary collaborations and building expertise between academic institutions, international organizations, and private actors, the Hub aims to advance the field through constructive dialogue.
This abstract contribution will focus on the workshop discussion point regarding the constructive and interdisciplinary framework to advance the discussion on space sustainability and space capacity management, including from a legal and economic perspective.
During the last two years, the Hub has conducted projects to enhance dialogue between the scientific community, international organizations, and private investors. First, funded by the Geneva Science-Policy Interface, a project explored policy-making challenges at the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). We will present the outcomes and policy recommendations from this work.
Second, addressing economic incentives, a student group performed a qualitative and quantitative analysis on how sustainability considerations influence investment decisions. Utilizing the Environment-Vulnerability-Decision-Technology (EVDT) Framework, this research was awarded the Clearspace Prize.
This presentation will discuss the frameworks resulting from these projects and showcase potential ways to apply the generated knowledge to promote sustainable behavior and improve space capacity management.
