Adriano V. Autino (SRI)	18th SDG: what is at stake To kick-off civilian space development before 2030 is essential, to open a perspective of development and social growth for all peoples of planet Earth and for the new communities, living and working in space. This challenge encompasses diverse aspects. To keep on downsizing the cost to orbit, by quickly consolidate 100% reusable, safe and ergonomic space vehicles is still the first priority. To support the development of commercial activities in Earth orbit and Cislunar space, by proper rules and facilitations is equally important. That will aloow to produce fuel from lunar and asteroid materials, and will further downsize the cost of any space mission. To develop proper research strands, to allow civilians to work and live in space for long time, eventually residing in space infrastructures: protection from cosmic radiations, simulated gravity, green environments in the habitats. On all of the above we shall see menaingful progresses before 2030, or humanity could loose the "launch window", going back in the evolution scale to a new stone age, instead of going ahead, toward a Solar Civilization.	video
Alfred Anzaldua (NSS, SRI Board)	Highlights of the recent UN COPUOS Conference A report on the UN COPUOS 66th session, 31 May - 9 June 2023	video
Bernard Foing (SRI)	Space4All Research & Capacity Building: Space Renaissance, EuroMoonMars and Eurospacehub highlights.	video
Karlton Johnson (NSS)	Why Space Matters - A Case for Diverse Intentionality in the Space Ecosystem The space program created many benefits for humanity. We use space-based capabilities daily in our lives seldom knowing that we are doing so. Like oxygen, we are oblivious when it is there and we are using it; when it is missing, it becomes most important to us. Space is like that. And the more we use it, the more we’ll need it, especially to help solve many of the things that challenge us earth-side. To maximize the benefits of space, we need to embed diverse intentionality into to the conversation so “space for all” becomes less a slogan and more of an actuality.	video
Frank White (Human Space Program)	The Overview Effect, Large-Scale Space Migration, and The SDGs Space, with a “capital S,” should be one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, because it will support achievement of the other SDGs. The Overview Effect, or view of the Earth from space and in space, offers the transformation in perspective that will allow humanity to work collaboratively on eliminating hunger, achieving peace, striving for equity, and all of the other aspirations of the SDGs. Large-Scale Space Migration will relieve the pressure on the Earth’s carrying capacity of our advanced technological civilization. This, too, will support achievement of the other 17 goals. Put simply, without Space, the noble vision of sustainable development will be difficult to achieve.	video
Frederick Janet (Expanding Frontiers)	Short greetings	video
Steven Wolfe (Beyond Earth)	The Role that Space in the Future of Human Civilization Consistent with the U.N.'s desire to take a long view of future history, as evidenced by 17 SDGs, it must also recognize the domain of space as an integral component of the long-term sustainability of life on Earth. Space is the missing piece in this wonderful mosaic of goals. Global forces are already in motion to enable human expansion throughout the solar system. Through the SDG initiative, the U.N. has an opportunity to embrace that vision and be integrated with the emerging potential.	video
Marie Luise-Heuser (SRI)	Transterrestrialism. Why we are not just earthlings" Human beings are not local, earthbound beings, but universal beings capable of constantly transcending boundaries and horizons, both cognitively and practically. This has been reflected in the long tradition of philosophy, art and religion as a basic trait of creative humanity. One need only think of Plato's sky chariot or Giordano Bruno's space explorations with the wings of the mind. The human spirit is essentially free and cannot be confined in closed systems. That is why he invents techniques that carry us also beyond the earth. The first fictional moon travelers were already aware of this. Transterrestrialism has, will and must overcome geocentrism in its also modern varieties, because transterrestrialism corresponds to the nature of man.
Adrian Webb (Space Value Foundation)	The space value of money: human impact on present and future biological spaces As human activity inexorably impacts every dimension of space on our planet necessary for sustaining life, the impending crisis requires us to seek new spaces that can support biology beyond earth. These problems have been caused by a financial mathematics of investment that disregards our impact. We must lay the foundations now to avoid repeating the same omission by building impact into the financial mathematics of investment and human expansion across space.	video
Ghanim Alotaibi (SRI, ASCI)	The 18th SDG and Emerging Space Countries Abstract: Involving everyone in the efforts of expanding humanity to outer space is important. The vast majority of the world population are living in countries with no space agencies or space agencies with scopes limited only for space applications. The talk explains why it is important to involve everyone for the efforts of expanding humanity to outer space and how the 18th SDG will be an important catalyst.	video
Gary Barnard (Space Development Foundation	Architecting the Future: This is the way!? Space for All, on Earth and Beyond An 18th Sustainable Development Goal. Outcomes matter. In these challenging times, the importance of the investment we make in providing for the future, including space exploration and development, is not to be underestimated. It serves as a foundation for hope. It serves as an affirmation that we are a resilient society that will not be deterred from lending our efforts to forging a brighter tomorrow	video
Stephan Reckie(Gen Space)	Why Doing Business in Space Matters to Us	video
Gabe Ignetti (Ecomodernist Society of North America)	To move mining and ultimately industry off planet completely We support urbanization powered by safe, energy dense atomic energy as the most ecologically efficient way for humans to save nature by separating from it. We fully support the movement of human civilization into space as the next step in that necessary decoupling project which will move mining and ultimately industry off planet completely.	video
Boris Petrovic (ExoTesla)	Noospheric cosmo-planetary civilization development themed with the following subjects: - Extending Biosphere Rights to Extraterrestrial Settlements - The Noosphere as an Information Field for Communication - The Noosphere in the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence	video
Perry Lam (OASA)	Space: the next/last frontier Space is the ‘next' frontier for all of humanity. Or, it can also be our ‘last'. Unless we can share and commit to this shared belief that humanity is sustainable, worth developing, and all inclusive, everything we humans have done before the opening of space will culminate to the beginning of the end of humanity. Space is for everyone, with everyone, and contains everyone. We all see a different part of the same sky and only with our collective vision can this sky be truly seen.
Henk Rogers (Int'l Moonbase Alliance)	You get what you inspect The saying is “You get what you inspect, not what you expect.” Looking back to Earth from space is essential for humanity to monitor change, both good and bad, so that we can take appropriate action to fix our environment.	video
