Environmental Threats in Space
How does our pollution impact our solar system beyond planet Earth? What are the biggest environmental threats in Space?
In the past few years, as globally we send more and more objects into space, it has become clear that the present pace of growth is unsustainable, and we sit on the brink of an environmental crisis. Space debris can have a myriad of negative impacts on climate and the environment, which need to be addressed urgently in order to use space sustainably and to support us with our climate and environmental goals on land.

Conflict and Disaster
How do war and conflict impact the environment? What can we do to mitigate the harmful effects of war on the environment?
Recent years have seen a marked increase in instabilities: political, societal, and environmental. From the floods in Pakistan, to the invasion of Ukraine, the risks posed by conflict and disaster which we are facing as a global community are more grave than ever.
