›UN/UAE High Level Forum on Space as a Driver for Sustainable Development

As highlighted in the Dubai Declaration, adopted on 24 November 2016 at the High Level Forum: Space as a Driver for Socioeconomic Sustainable Development, held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, ( A/AC.105/1129) UNISPACE+50 is a milestone opportunity to demonstrate the broad societal benefits of space as an area of innovation, inspiration, interconnectedness, integration and investment, and to strengthen unified efforts at all levels and among all relevant stakeholders in the space sector. 

Looking towards UNISPACE+50 in 2018, the series of high level fora: Space as a Driver for Socioeconomic Sustainable Development, under the umbrella of the United Nations, are a unique opportunity for the collective space community to address these cross-sectoral areas by integrating economic, environmental, social, policy and regulatory dimensions of space in pursuit of global sustainable development. 

The four-day United Nations/United Arab Emirates High Level Forum will aim to build stronger partnerships and international cooperation and coordination in the peaceful uses of outer space at all levels.
