Description
Summary:The aim of this study is to fill out the gap that exists in the literature by discussing the main problems and barriers to sustainable development in space and the initial proposal to adopt SDG 18. Despite the fact that the subject of the sustainable development of space is little researched, it seems that in order to be able to properly prepare for it, a broader debate on this subject should now be undertaken. This is due to the fact that this issue is undoubtedly complex and multifaceted. The starting point for the development of SDG 18 seems to be the discussion of issues such as: sustainable financing of space exploration, laws and treaties. The considerations undertaken in the article may be helpful for government organizations in creating future sustainable development strategies. Business representatives will receive valuable information on the constraints associated with the implementation of space programs. On the other hand, scientists can treat the article as a starting point for deliberations on the 18 SDG and pose further questions to deepen the issues outlined in the article, and develop the 18 goal with further aspects omitted in this study.
