Kosmosevaldkonna eest vastutavate ministrite videokonverents, 29. mai 2020
Põhilised päevakorrapunktid
Kosmosepoliitika eest vastutavad ministrid arutavad kosmoseandmete, -teenuste ja -tehnoloogia rolli selles, et edendada majanduse keskkonnahoidlikku ja kestlikku taastumist COVID-19 kriisist.
Kuigi Euroopa seisab silmitsi koroonaviiruse COVID-19 pandeemiast tulenevate probleemidega, jääb endiselt prioriteediks üleminek kestlikule ja kliimaneutraalsele majandusele. Euroopa Ülemkogu eesistuja Charles Micheli ja Euroopa Komisjoni presidendi Ursula von der Leyeni 21. aprillil esitatud majanduse taastumist käsitlevas ühises teekaardis määratleti üleminek rohelisele majandusele olulise investeeringutevaldkonnana.
Kosmosetehnoloogiad on rohelisele majandusele üleminekuga seotud probleemide lahendamisel otsustava tähtsusega. Lisaks pakub kosmosesektor võimalusi majanduskasvuks ning toetab ELi konkurentsivõimet ja vastupanuvõimet.
Sellega seoses vahetavad ministrid arvamusi järgmistes küsimustes:
ELi kosmoseandmete ja -teenuste kasutamine majanduse keskkonnahoidliku taastumise soodustamiseks
kosmosetehnoloogia ja -infrastruktuuri roll kestlikus arengus
Space technologies are playing a crucial role in bringing solutions and enabling our societies to fight the current and any further crisis. They are a valuable tool in our efforts to promote a more resilient and sustainable development of our societies. We will provide the space sector with adequate financing and human resources in order to safeguard Europe's sovereignty in space.
Blaženka Divjak, Croatian minister of science and education
The exchange of views was structured around the following questions :
How to integrate the use of EU space data and services by public authorities to foster green recovery after the COVID-19 crisis?
In what way space systems and infrastructure can help in moving faster toward a sustainable development path?
It was broadly acknowledged that the space sector is of great benefit to the EU's societal and economic needs, as well as to the green transition. Investments in space not only generate considerable economic returns but tend to have an important impact on our societies, by providing the tools for evidence-based and efficient policymaking.
It was stressed that even as Europe is facing unprecedented challenges with the ongoing crisis, the transition to a sustainable and climate-neutral EU economy remains a priority. Space-based technologies can offer solutions in the recovery phase and in building a more resilient society for the future. They provide the tools to respond to numerous challenges, such as the depletion of natural resources, climate change, efficient road traffic management, agricultural efficiency and maritime navigation.
At the end of the meeting, the representative of Germany presented the priorities of the upcoming German presidency of the Council in the field of space for the second half of 2020. These include the adoption of the new space programme and the definition of key principles for the global space economy.
At the end of the video conference, the Croatian presidency issued a press release.
