The session will focus on answering the following questions and more in an engaging and interactive session:
  • What are the connections and dependencies between Earth, oceans, politics, and space, and how can we manage them better?
  • How can science and technology promote sustainable development and conservation of natural resources while also supporting economic growth?
  • What policies and governance structures can promote international cooperation on science, technology, and innovation, and ensure equitable access to their benefits?
  • How can we responsibly use space resources and technology, manage their risks and benefits, and promote global cooperation and development?
  • How can we increase public awareness and engagement on the importance of Earth, oceans, politics, and space, and the need for international cooperation to address the challenges we face?
