Space Applications for Environment and SDGs Luncheon
15 May, 12:00 — Conference Room 4, UNCC
As both the Asia-Pacific Regional Space Agency Forum (APRSAF) and ESCAP have a common interest in maximizing the innovative contributions of space technology applications to the attainment of the SDGs in the Asia-Pacific region, ESCAP’s Commission session provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the benefits of space applications to policymakers and end users not necessarily familiar with their potential. The event will aim to generate a cross-cutting SDG dialogue to support the drafting of a new Asia-Pacific Plan of Action for Space Applications, 2018-2030.
A background document on Space Applications for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (E/ESCAP/73/20) will be presented during agenda item 3(f) of the Commission immediately after the lunch event. This event will therefore provide greater information to delegations wishing to make a statement on this issue at the Commission.
