The multifaceted nature of space security challenges

The challenges facing the space domain are multifaceted and there need not be an expectation that they all be covered by a single initiative. Accordingly, no single space policy proposal will effectively address all challenges to the sustainability of outer space—from environmental to commercial to military. Should one of the existing proposals be adopted, it can make a concrete contribution to space governance, in particular if its adoption is not taken as an end goal that jeopardizes the pursuit of further complementary initiatives.
