Abstract

The expansion of humanity’s presence on the Moon could enable a new era of sustainable, inclusive and fair exploration. In the course of this process, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that the Moon remains a peaceful and cooperative environment for the benefit of all countries and humankind. In September 2020 the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) established a dedicated action team to formalize and articulate the perspectives of the young generations on this critical topic. In May 2021, the EAGLE Team produced a unique Lunar Governance Report assessing the current state of the debate and providing the youth’s recommendations. The EAGLE Lunar Governance Report has been officially endorsed by SGAC and henceforth submitted as Conference Room Paper (CRP) at the 60th Session of the Legal Subcommittee of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS) as the official position of the young generations at the United Nations. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the main contributions of the EAGLE Report.
