| Event Name: | WORLD SPACE WEEK: Space and Sustainability |
| Event Description: | Each year, the World Space Week Association (WSWA) selects a theme for the upcoming World Space Week (WSW) to provide a focus of the activities and events that take place throughout the world, during 4-10 October. The World Space Week 2022 theme is “Space and Sustainability.” During October 4-10, 2022 WSW will celebrate two branches of the topic to be covered-achieving sustainability in space, and achieving sustainability from space. The theme is inspired by how sustainability in space relates to how humanity uses space, most pressingly, the orbital area surrounding Earth-itself a finite resource. There is a much greater story to tell in terms of how space exploration and remote Earth observation can help drive change for our own home planet. This includes measuring climate change, identifying pollution on land and at sea, supporting agriculture in developing nations-an endless list. Of the 169 targets that form the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, 65 directly benefit through Earth observation satellites and related technologies. Achieving the SDGs would be so much harder without the tools and techniques available to scientists through space exploration. What are the goals of World Space Week? 1.Provide unique leverage in space outreach and education 2.Educate people around the world about the benefits that they receive from space 3.Encourage greater use of space for sustainable economic development 4.Demonstrate public support for space programs 5.Excite young people about science, technology, engineering, and math 6. Foster international cooperation in space outreach and education. Grades across Kindergarten to 12 have observed the event successfully and achieved the targeted goals. |
