I'm honored to have participated as a speaker and the head of the Kingdom of #Bahrain space delegation in the World Space Leaders Summit at COP29, hosted by #Azercosmos on the "Science, Technology, and Innovation Day" of COP29. This summit, themed "Space Challenges in the Fight Against Climate Change: Summit of Space Leaders," highlighted the crucial role of space technology in addressing climate change and brought together approximately 80 representatives from the international space community.
It was an incredible opportunity to engage with senior officials from across the globe, including the Kingdom of Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, the United Kingdom, #Japan, #China, #Italy, #Norway, #Hungary, #Türkiye, and #Brazil. We were also joined by leaders of several organizations such as #UNOOSA, #ICESCO, the International Astronautical Federation #IAF, and the Commonwealth of Nations.
During the summit, we discussed "Joint Efforts for Climate Action: Partnerships, Knowledge, and Data Sharing," and emphasized the importance of international partnerships, contributing to the "Space 2030 Agenda," and defining space-based solutions for monitoring and transparency. Notably, around 20 global space agencies endorsed an "International Pledge for Space-Based Climate Action-COP29 Impact and Output."
The summit provided a platform to strengthen partnerships and share innovative ideas, particularly on topics such as #AI for Earth Observation, Disaster Management, Satellite Technology, and Climate Monitoring. It was truly inspiring to see how space can act as a bridge connecting science, technology, policy, and activity.
I look forward to continuing our collaborative efforts to leverage space technology for a sustainable future. 🌍🚀 🛰 #COP29 #WorldSpaceLeaders #ClimateAction #Sustainability #NSSA #InternationalCollaboration #USA #UK #KSA #UAE
