Financial institutions, governments, and the insurance industry are increasingly leveraging EO data to enhance climate resilience, manage investment risks, and ensure regulatory compliance. This session will: • Explore how EO is enabling scalable risk modeling and financial protection mechanisms for extreme weather events. • Discuss the role of EO in sovereign risk pools, catastrophe bonds, and climate adaptation funding. • Examine regulatory adoption of EO-driven financial instruments in banking, insurance, and capital markets.
Managing and regulating Space Domain Awareness (SDA) and space debris is crucial for creating a safe and sustainable space ecosystem, especially as the number of satellites and missions continues to grow. Effective management will rely on advanced technologies, such as AI-driven tracking systems, radar, and space-based sensors, to monitor and predict the movement of active satellites and debris in real time. Regulations must be developed and enforced internationally, promoting responsible behaviour, such as adherence to debris mitigation guidelines, controlled de-orbiting, and post-mission disposal plans. Collaborative efforts between governments, private companies, and international organisations will be essential for establishing shared data repositories and ensuring transparency in orbital activities. Furthermore, innovations in active debris removal, on-orbit servicing, and reusable technologies will play a pivotal role in reducing debris accumulation. Hear from the panel on a cohesive framework that combines robust technological solutions with clear regulatory policies, and which will be key to maintaining the long-term usability and safety of orbital regions for all stakeholders
The session will bring together experts from various sectors to examine real-world challenges and opportunities of collecting social data for ESG reporting and what this might mean for the future TISFD reporting framework that is currently being developed. It will seek to identify areas where the UK can further capitalize on the EO data science to enhance regulatory frameworks.
