ESWW2024 TDM10 – Towards more ecologically sustainable space weather and space climate activities

Convenors: E-SWAN WG-SUST

In 2024, the French astrophysics and space physics community carried out an extensive survey on climate and ecological transitions, conducting many interviews, performing detailed carbon footprint assessments, and more. This is probably the most thorough study ever carried out on these issues within a single country, specifically in the context of research activities in space. The aim of this TDM is twofold: – share with the community the first outcomes of this survey, and in particular present the pathways towards more sustainable research; Provide an opportunity for ESWW participants to discuss and debate these outcomes, which are important for raising awareness of these challenging issues. This TDM will be organised by the E-SWAN Sustainability Working Group, which aims at gathering feedback from the community in order to better propose future activities.
