Deadline: November 24, 2022
Are you interested in leveraging space to address water resources problems? Apply now for the UNOOSA/SGAC Space4Youth Competition 2022.
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), in collaboration with the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC), launched the 2022 edition of the Space4Youth Essay Competition! Water scarcity is a major global challenge. Young people play a key role. UNOOSA and SGAC want to give a voice to and promote youth’s ideas on the use of space for water resources management and aquatic ecosystem preservation.
Participants will submit an essay on the theme “Space as a tool to accelerate change in sustainable water resources management, hydrology and the protection of aquatic ecosystems” but can choose their own topic within that theme. Participants will focus on how space can be used to tackle water challenges by underlining concrete, realistic and original examples of how space science, technology and its applications can inform and, or support the delivery of actions and commitments for water management problems and adaptation of policies at local, national, regional and, or international levels.
