The guiding theme of IAC 2025 Sydney, ‘Sustainable Space: Resilient Earth,' explores the essential connection between space innovation and sustainability, focusing on three central areas: space-based applications for Earth, sustainable space activities, and sustaining life beyond Earth.

As we progress with advancements in space technology and research, ‘Sustainable Space : Resilient Earth’ highlights the need for responsible, equitable, and forward-thinking approaches that will preserve space for future explorers whilst also ensuring that the benefits of space exploration filter to all of humanity.

Space technology has become an indispensable tool for addressing urgent global challenges on Earth. From monitoring the environment and managing resources to providing critical data for disaster resiliency, space-based applications are essential for ensuring a resilient Earth for future generations.
