The 6th Summit for Space Sustainability is a high-level, multi-day policy forum designed to highlight opportunities and challenges for developing solutions for space sustainability.

This year, it is co-hosted by the Secure World Foundation and Cabinet Office, Space Policy Secretariat, Government of Japan

Join hundreds of global experts and stakeholders from industry, governments, and civil society to participate in keynotes, interactive sessions, panels, and networking. 

With a special focus on the Asia-Pacific region, key themes include:

  • Active debris removal progress and challenges

  • Space situational awareness initiatives

  • Commercial space industry's role in space sustainability

  • The intersection of civil, security/defense, and commercial space

  • Space sustainability in the exploration context

"Now we are all aware, as space activities by nations and private companies expand, the number of satellites is rapidly increasing, and the risk of collision and interference between satellites and debris is also increasing.

This is an issue that must be addressed urgently.

Space sustainability is not just a problem for space-faring nations, but is also a specific challenge for countries that are trying to promote new space application and economic growth."
