Montreal, MAY 12, 2022 – NorthStar Earth & Space endorses the Net Zero Space Declaration of the Paris Peace Forum, an international initiative gathering like-minded actors calling to achieving sustainable use of outer space for the benefit of all humankind by 2030.

About the Paris Peace Forum

The Paris Peace Forum is a French initiative launched in 2018 to create a multi-stakeholder platform in Paris to address global governance issues.

Its annual event brings together heads of state and government, heads of international organizations, civil society leaders and private sector executives around concrete initiatives that give a large place to the global South.

Net Zero Space Initiative

The Net Zero Space initiative is a multi-stakeholder platform calling to achieve sustainable use of outer space by 2030 by taking concrete actions to mitigate the generation of new orbital debris and remediate existing ones. It especially aims at raising awareness at a political level and in the public at large to better protect Earth’s orbital environment and foster interoperable norms in this regard.
