This paper summarizes the discussions held at the UNIDR Conference, “Building Confidence for Eurasian Space Activities Through Norms of Behaviour.” It examines the role of outer space in social, economic, and security development across Eurasia as well as the emerging space security threats that may jeopardize future access to space-based services for countries in the region. In particular, it looks at the existing regulatory framework for space activities and how norms of behavior might be able to complement this framework and provide pragmatic solutions to the evolving needs of space actors in Eurasia as well as around the world.
