Global Space Policy & International Cooperation

This video from the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) highlights the importance of international cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space and the role of space technologies in supporting global development.

UNOOSA works with governments, space agencies, and international partners to strengthen legal frameworks, expand access to space technologies, and help countries use space science for sustainable economic and social development.
