Through the lens of the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), this book provides a multi-disciplinary analysis of modern threats. It addresses urgent issues such as water supply shortages, inadequate agricultural resources, climate change, and natural disasters. By combining various academic approaches, the text explores how space tools can contribute to managing these global risks and supporting long-term sustainability. This resource is an essential read for those studying the intersection of space technology and global policy. It offers a detailed look at how space-based solutions might help mitigate the consequences of epidemics, mobility shifts, and the depletion of non-renewable energy sources. Gain a deeper understanding of how space policy can assist in navigating the complex environmental and social landscape of the coming decades.
