The Zero Debris Charter celebrates its third anniversary

Co-organised by Secure World Foundation and the Brazilian Space Agency, the 8th Summit for Space Sustainability took place on 4 and 5 November 2026 in Brasília, bringing together policymakers, industry leaders, researchers and civil society to discuss practical solutions for a safer and more sustainable future in space.

A celebration of the Zero Debris Charter’s three-year anniversary took place during the summit, on 4 November. During the session titled ‘The Zero Debris Charter – Three Years of Collective Action’, Quentin Verspieren, Head of the Space Safety Coordination Office, reflected on the Charter’s progress and its journey: “Three years on, the Zero Debris Charter has grown from a shared ambition into a truly global community effort. Celebrating this milestone in Brasília shows the momentum behind our collective commitment and how the Zero Debris Community is turning the goal of a zero-debris future into concrete action.”
