The UNIDIR Space Security Portal is an interactive map of the global space security governance landscape. It provides profiles of the space security-related policies of all UN Member States, in addition to various intergovernmental organizations and multistakeholder initiatives.
This tool seeks to support informed participation by relevant stakeholders in activities designed to advance space security and promote transparency, information sharing, confidence and capacity building in outer space governance.
To mark progress on the Space Security Portal, this UNIDIR side event will explore new features, impacts and future plans for the portal and its ongoing role as a tool to enhance transparency and confidence, as well as increase global literacy in the field of space security.
