    (2018–2030)

  • Preface

    On 10 October 2018, Ministers and the heads of the space community from over 30 countries in Asia-Pacific met in Bangkok for the Third Ministerial Conference on Space Applications for SustainableDevelopment in Asia and the Pacific.

    The Ministerial Conference adopted two documents, that will guide work in Asia-Pacific for the nextdecade: 1) the Ministerial Declaration on Space Applications for Sustainable Development in Asia andthe Pacific, and 2) the Asia-Pacific Plan of Action on Space Applications for Sustainable Development(2018 – 2030).

    The Plan of Action is a regionally-coordinated, inclusive and needs-driven blueprint that harnessesspace and geospatial applications, as well as digital innovations to support countries, particularly thosewith special needs, to achieve the 2030 Agenda. It is developed as a follow-up to the Asia-Pacific Planof Action for Applications of Space Technology and Geographic Information Systems for Disaster RiskReduction and Sustainable Development, 2012–2017. It maps the sectoral needs and resources atnational and regional levels. It also promotes multi-sectoral coordination on a voluntary basis, in linewith each country’s national circumstances and development priorities.

    The Plan of Action is fully aligned with ESCAP’s Regional Roadmap for Implementing the 2030Agenda for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific. It includes 188 actions in the followingthematic areas: (a) disaster risk management; (b) natural resource management; (c) connectivity;(d) social development; (e) energy; and (f) climate change. All 188 actions will significantlycontribute to 37 Targets of 14 Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

    The implementation modalities are through: (a) research and knowledge-sharing; (b) capacity-building and technical support; and (c) intergovernmental discussions and regional practices. Amongthe three, capacity-building and technical support has been identified by countries as the priority.The Plan is divided into three implementation phases, each of a four-year duration, with a MinisterialConference to be convened at the end of each phase.

    Asia-Pacific Plan of Action on Space Applicationsfor Sustainable Development (2018–2030)

    I. Introduction

    1. Asia and the Pacific has become a hub of digital and science innovationthat brings new and innovative solutions to pressing global problems. Fasterand more versatile digital connectivity, satellite data, geographic informationsystems and spatial analysis have become increasingly accessible andavailable, generating more evidence-based data to support real-time decision-making. Geospatial information has also increasingly been incorporated intodevelopment planning, which has led to more accurate monitoring andevaluation of development interventions. As a result, geospatial informationapplications have come to play a more prominent role in the implementationand realization of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, with aparticular focus on disaster risk reduction.

    2. Despite these advances, several challenges remain. A lack of capacityand resources in terms of finance and expertise, is a common problem. Manydeveloping countries, including small island developing States, do not have thecapacity to utilize, analyse and interpret space-derived data.

    3. Through the long-standing framework of the Regional SpaceApplications Programme for Sustainable Development, the Economic andSocial Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) has brought togetherspace agencies and relevant stakeholders to address these challenges. Pursuantto resolution 69/11, the Commission endorsed the Asia-Pacific Plan of Actionfor Applications of Space Technology and Geographic Information Systemsfor Disaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development, 2012–2017.Concurrently, the Commission, through resolution 71/11, established the Asianand Pacific Centre for the Development of Disaster Information Managementas a regional institution of the Commission, which will contribute to theCommission’s programme of work in the area of information andcommunications technology and disaster risk reduction.

    4. The Plan has been developed in an inclusive, collective way, driven bycountry needs. Actions are not designed for one entity to implement alone,rather they serve to stimulate regional action. The Plan provides both aconsolidated needs assessment for countries in the region that wish to utilizespace applications for sustainable development and a guide for partners thatwish to support those countries in meeting the needs.

    5. The Plan comprises two parts. First, the main body of the text identifiesguiding principles, relevant mandates, modalities including activities cuttingacross all thematic areas, and means of implementation. Second, an appendixcontains specific actions identified under each thematic area. As the Plancovers a long implementation period until 2030, the IntergovernmentalConsultative Committee, at its twenty-second session, also recognized the needto periodically review and amend the Plan, to reflect the evolving needs ofcountries, emerging technologies, shifting priorities and unforeseen challengesarising in the region. The Plan also foresees enhanced partnerships, at theregional level, between existing Regional Space Applications Programme forSustainable Development members, intergovernmental mechanisms andinternational and technical organizations.

    Relevant mandates and sequential development of the Plan

    6. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Sendai Frameworkfor Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 and the Paris Agreement collectivelycontribute to a sustainable development agenda, which will play an importantrole in shaping the world for generations to come. Space-derived data andinformation are essential and accessibility will be useful for itsimplementation, monitoring and realization.

    7. The Regional Space Applications Programme for SustainableDevelopment was created in 1994 at the First Ministerial Conference on SpaceApplications for Development in Asia and the Pacific held in Beijing. Thesecond phase of the Regional Space Applications Programme for SustainableDevelopment was launched after the Second Ministerial Conference on SpaceApplications for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific held in NewDelhi in 1999.

    8. In December 2012, members and associate members of ESCAP,attending the Intergovernmental Meeting on Asia-Pacific Years of Action forApplications of Space Technology and the Geographic Information System forDisaster Risk Reduction and Sustainable Development, 2012–2017, adoptedthe Plan of Action for the period 2012–2017.1

    9. At the twentieth session of the Intergovernmental ConsultativeCommittee held in New Delhi from 31 October to 1 November 2016, membersand associate members requested that the new Plan should reflect the emergingneeds specific to the region and subregions, taking into account severalprevious ESCAP resolutions covering disaster risk management, connectivity,the 2030 Agenda and the needs of small island developing States.2

    10. The Asia-Pacific Space Leaders Forum, which was held in New Delhion 2 November 2016, highlighted the role of space applications in theimplementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and requested thesecretariat to work with members and associate members in the preparation ofa new plan for adoption at the Third Ministerial Conference on SpaceApplications for Sustainable Development in Asia and the Pacific.

    11. Consequently, the Intergovernmental Consultative Committee on theRegional Space Applications Programme for Sustainable Development at itstwenty-first session, held in Bangkok in October 2017, agreed on the vision forthe plan that, by 2030, all countries in the Asia-Pacific region would be able toaccess and use space science, technology and their applications to the fullestextent to meet their individual and regional needs for achieving the SustainableDevelopment Goals.3

    12. At its first meeting, held in late May 2018, the Drafting Committee forthe Plan prioritized 48 Goal targets to which space applications could mostsignificantly contribute to the priority thematic areas outlined in the regionalroad map for implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development inAsia and the Pacific.

    13. In June 2018, the United Nations convened the UNISPACE+50 high-level segment and high-level symposium, which focused on space as a driverof sustainable development. It was held in Vienna in commemoration of thefiftieth anniversary of the first United Nations Conference on the Explorationand Peaceful Uses of Outer Space and marked a significant step towardschartering a comprehensive “Space2030” agenda. UNISPACE+50 encouragedall States to continue to promote and actively contribute to strengtheninginternational cooperation in the peaceful use of outer space and facilitating therealization of the Sustainable Development Goals, considering the needs ofdeveloping countries.

    14. At the Intergovernmental Consultative Committee at its twenty-secondsession, held in Bangkok in August 2018, participants endorsed the activitiesin the priority thematic areas based on the regional road map which can supportthe work towards attaining many Sustainable Development Goals. Committeemembers also provided concrete actions that can be associated with thosetargets, specifically: (a) research and knowledge-sharing; (b) capacity-buildingand technical support; and (c) intergovernmental discussions and regionalpractices.

    15. The draft plan was submitted at the request of an ad-hoc session of theIntergovernmental Consultative Committee (ICC Plus), by the Chairman, tothe Third Ministerial Conference on Space Applications for SustainableDevelopment, which endorsed the draft plan and recommended that it beendorsed by the Commission at its seventy-fifth session.

    II. Modalities and means of implementation

    16. The Plan has three aims. First, it includes activities at the international,regional and national levels, focusing on the six priority areas identified in theregional road map. Second, the Plan identifies the means and modes ofimplementation. Third, it promotes partnership and collaboration betweenmember States, United Nations agencies, intergovernmental mechanisms, andinternational and technical organizations in the implementation of the Plan ofAction.

    Overview of the Asia-Pacific Plan of Action on Space Applications forSustainable Development

    Vision

    Member States in the Asia-Pacific region can access, use and develop spacescience, technology and its applications to the fullest extent at the national andregional levels to achieve the goals set out in the 2030 Agenda for SustainableDevelopment.

    Mission

    Member States of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and thePacific and the Regional Space Applications Programme for SustainableDevelopment network to implement the Regional Space ApplicationsProgramme as the Asia-Pacific regional framework for the coordination andstrengthening of regional space cooperation in support of the regional road mapfor implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in Asia andthe Pacific.

    Priority themes and targeted actions

    Six priority themes and three targeted actions were identified to implementthe Plan of Action.4

    Review of implementation

    Phase I: 2018–2022

    Phase II: 2022–2026

    Phase III: 2026–2030

    Actions in priority themes

    17. Actions were identified under specific themes (appendix). Thefollowing sections summarize these actions in general:

    (a) Disaster risk reduction and resilience

    18. Commission resolution 71/12 invited members and associate members,in coordination with relevant international organizations, the private sector andcivil society, as appropriate, to attach priority on promoting information andcommunications technology and space applications for effective disaster riskmanagement to support the implementation of the Sendai Framework in Asiaand the Pacific.

    19. The Sendai Framework highlights the use of space applications,including geographic information systems, to enhance measurement tools, datacollection, data analyses and dissemination of data.5 To reduce disaster riskand build greater resiliency among communities and regions, the Plan ofAction seeks to strengthen the integration of digital innovation with spaceapplications for disaster risk reduction, multi-hazard monitoring and earlywarning, damage assessment and emergency response and recovery, byenhancing regional cooperation. These actions will contribute to theimplementation of Sustainable Development Goals 2 (Zero hunger) and 13(Climate action) and are in line with the Sendai Framework, which sets globalcommon standards and targets for disaster risk reduction. Disaster riskreduction is incorporated in 25 targets in 10 of the 17 Sustainable DevelopmentGoals.6

    (b) Management of natural resources

    20. Improving natural resource management and protection of ecosystemsis one of the priorities in the regional road map. Space applications can offervaluable information to support conservation and sustainable resourcemanagement. The proposed actions will support implementing Goals 6 (Waterand sanitation), 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure), 11 (Sustainablecities and communities), 12 (Responsible consumption and production), 14(Life under water) and 15 (Life on land), among others. Many activities havecross-cutting benefits to other sectors such as water use, sustainable marine andcoastal ecosystems, forests resources, urban planning, land degradation anddesertification.

    (c) Connectivity for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

    21. Seamless connectivity across transport, information andcommunications technology, and trade sectors is a key theme highlighted in

    4 A matrix of actions for thematic areas is contained in the appendix.5 General Assembly resolution 69/283.6 Ibid.

    the ESCAP report Enhancing Regional Economic Cooperation andIntegration in Asia and the Pacific. The commitment to integration, regionalcooperation, and connectivity was highlighted in the regional road map. Theproposed actions in this thematic area, which can be supported by the use ofgeospatial information and tools, include creating more capacity developmentopportunities, access to the Internet with low-cost information andcommunications technology for poorer communities, building smart transportsystems, facilitating study on cross-border immigrant and internal disasterdisplacement, will contribute to the implementation of Goals 3 (Good healthand well-being), 4 (Quality education), 9 (Industry, innovation andinfrastructure), 10 (Reduce inequalities) and 11 (Sustainable cities andcommunities).

    (d) Social development

    22. Social development is a cross-cutting issue for many SustainableDevelopment Goals and focuses on ameliorating disparities in income andwealth across all communities. The proposed actions in this area that focus onusing Earth observation in support of mapping poverty and vulnerable groups,identifying health risk hotspots, monitoring and cleaning up pollution andcontamination will contribute to the implementation of Goals 1 (Povertyeradication) and 3 (Good health and well-being).

    (e) Energy

    23. In 2011, the Sustainable Energy for All initiative was launched toensure universal energy access. Affordable reliable, sustainable and modernsources of energy are a prerequisite for achieving many of the other SustainableDevelopment Goals.7 Specific proposed actions under this thematic area willbe concentrated on the effective use of space-derived data and geographicinformation systems for identification and mapping of the renewable energypotential, such as hydropower and geothermal, solar and wind energy. It willsignificantly contribute to the implementation of Sustainable DevelopmentGoal 7.

    (f) Climate change

    24. Responding to climate change is a major global challenge. Theimplementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on ClimateChange and the Paris Agreement is essential to the achievement of at least fourSustainable Development Goals.8 The regional road map works to helpmember States transition into more efficient, low-carbon economies to mitigateand adapt to the impacts of climate change.9 The proposed actions under thisarea will focus on innovative geospatial information for climate studies andscenario development, including impact and vulnerability mapping, throughexisting programmes.

    III. Action areas to define the scope of implementation

    25. Action areas were introduced to provide parameters to the scope ofimplementation, with many identified under specific themes. A detailedoverview of these is provided in the appendix to the present document.

    Modalities under each of these actions which cut across all themes are alsodiscussed below. The Intergovernmental Consultative Committee agreed thatcapacity development and technical support was a priority for most countriesin the region, while recognizing that research and knowledge-sharing, throughregional cooperation platforms, remain important supporting actions.

    A. Research and knowledge-sharing

    26. Research and knowledge-sharing activities are critical in furtherestablishing the significant role that space applications can play in supportingactions under the different thematic areas. In addition, the acknowledgementof emerging and frontier technologies has been recognized, although in manycases it is unknown how those supporting digital innovations can be integratedwith space applications. Actions which were identified as cross-cuttinginclude:

    (a) Research and share knowledge on the use of space applicationsto support sustainable development;

    (b) Research and share knowledge on the barriers to utilizing spaceapplications, including historical analysis of experiences to inform futurerecommendations development;

    (c) The ESCAP secretariat, in collaboration with the Commission’smembers and associate members, to biennially publish an Asia-Pacific reporton space and geospatial information applications for sustainable development;

    (d) Encourage the exchange of experts, professionals and resourcepersonnel on space applications to support knowledge-sharing;

    (e) Engage with youth to stimulate research and take advantage ofinnovations from young entrepreneurs.

    B. Capacity-building and technical support

    27. The majority of actions identified under this action area includes thedevelopment of capacity or provision of technical support on methodologies orthe use of technologies. For that reason, the Intergovernmental ConsultativeCommittee has suggested the need to clarify specifically which methodologiesor technologies, whenever possible. Cross-cutting and reoccurring actionsidentified in this action area include:

    (a) Develop capacity and provide technical support to access,analyse and utilize Earth observation data and information, particularly forcountries with special needs and those with limited capacity to use spaceapplications;

    (b) Provide technical support to access and easily understandinformation and research related to space applications;

    (c) Provide technical support on integrating space applications withdigital innovations, other sources of data and existing geospatial data platformsfor evidence-based decision support.

    C. Intergovernmental discussions and regional practices

    28. The majority of actions identified under this action area involvesworking with existing intergovernmental mechanisms and with internationaland technical organizations. Given the breadth of thematic and sectoral areascovered, and the need for engagement across a broader set of line ministriesand responsible authorities, beyond the traditional space applications sector, itis well-understood that actions are to be taken as appropriate and in line withnational plans and in accordance with their respective needs, conditions and

  • 7

    capabilities as well as with their existing obligations. Specific actions thatreoccur and cut across all themes include:

    (a) Support discussions and facilitate cooperation on thedevelopment of guidelines for integrating geospatial information with othersources of data to support relevant activities;

    (b) Develop a common understanding and work towards developingstandards on spatial scale, temporal resolution and cartographic elements withregard to space applications;

    (c) Collect, share and promote good practices and experience onspace policies and legislation, particularly those that support regionalcooperation;

    (d) Raise awareness of the benefits and the barriers to accessingspace applications at the policy and senior government levels;

    (e) Facilitate discussion, cooperation and promote good practices inthe use of satellite data, tools, products and applications for sustainabledevelopment and encourage resource allocation at the national level for thispurpose;

    (f) Work with existing intergovernmental mechanisms, andinternational and technical organizations to share satellite data and informationto support their relevant agendas, coherent with the thematic areas identifiedin the Plan of Action and the Sustainable Development Goals;

    (g) Given the increasing commercialization of space applications,promote and facilitate discussions with private and commercial entities tosupport and continue Governments’ access to satellite data and products forsustainable development.

    IV. Means of implementation as an ongoing collective effort

    29. The Plan of Action is designed to provide both a consolidated needsassessment for countries in the region that wish to utilize space applications forsustainable development, and a guide for partners that wish to support thosecountries in meeting the needs.

    A. Complementarity and partnerships with global and regional initiatives

    30. Implementation of the Plan of Action will contribute to theharmonization of regional actions and aims to reduce duplication of efforts,enhance cooperation and strengthen partnerships. It is a collective actionbetween member States, the United Nations system, regional and internationalinstitutions, including the private sector and other stakeholders. Regionalcooperation should be strengthened by enhancing networking andharmonization among the relevant initiatives and efforts being made, and byenlarging the base of stakeholders around a common theme. It is not envisionedthat new mechanisms will be established, but that greater coordination will bestrengthened with existing mechanisms, including but not limited to ESCAPregional institutions such as the Asian and Pacific Centre for the Developmentof Disaster Information Management and the Asian and Pacific TrainingCentre for Information and Communication Technology for Development.

    31. Regional and global space mechanisms are currently involved in theimplementation of the 2030 Agenda. For example, the Group on EarthObservations, through the Asia-Oceania Group on Earth Observations, hasbeen implementing a range of activities involving the use of space-based Earthobservation data for specific thematic purposes such as oceans, biodiversity,climate change and water management. The European Space Agency, through

  • 8

    its Earth Observation for Sustainable Development initiative, has been workingin areas of disaster risk reduction, climate resilience and urban development. Itcan provide support to mechanisms in mainstreaming the use of Earthobservation data in international development activities for Asia and thePacific. Other regional space cooperation frameworks, such as the Asia-PacificRegional Space Agency Forum, and the Asia-Pacific Space CooperationOrganization, also have extensive programmes in various thematic areas.Specifically, Sentinel Asia, as a regional platform for Asia and the Pacific, hasbeen making contributions to facilitate applications, research, capacitydevelopment and networking for promoting space-based technology, data andinformation towards disaster risk reduction. Regional institutions such as theResearch and Training Center for Space Technology and Applications of theAssociation of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the ASEANCoordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance on Disaster Managementcan help to develop the institutional capacity of member States on the use ofgeospatial information. The Committee of Experts on Global GeospatialInformation Management are presently working to bring together geospatialexperts and national statistical institutes to build the capacities to link statisticswith geospatial information in the measurement of key indicators in theSustainable Development Goals. The Plan of Action further seeks to engage,as appropriate, with the work of other relevant United Nations bodies, such asthe United Nations Institute for Training and Research Operational SatelliteApplications Programme, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs,the United Nations Platform for Space-based Information for DisasterManagement and Emergency Response and the entities of the United Nationssystem represented in the United Nations Inter-Agency Meeting on OuterSpace Activities.

    32. Finally, the Plan of Action aims to enhance synergy by strengtheningregional cooperation and harmonizing regional initiatives. ESCAP and otherinstitutions involved in the development of this Plan of Action can help byproviding a brokering service between countries, linking experts with thoserequiring support for specific actions.

    B. Existing capacities in the region

    33. Work relating to space applications and the benefits it provides to manysectors is rapidly evolving. Many agencies and regional or international groupsare undertaking research and discussions on how space applications can beused to address concerns around natural resource management, climate change,food security and poverty eradication. Presenting this academic work topolicymakers who can address these issues in an informed manner is animportant role that organizations like ESCAP can play. Havingintergovernmental committees in macroeconomics and poverty reduction,environment, trade, transport, energy, information and communicationstechnology, disaster risk management, social development and statistics,ESCAP is ideally suited to advocate and sensitize ministers and governmentofficials, bringing good practices from various organizations, the scientific andspace community to the end users and decision makers. Furthermore, manycountries have developed space policies or have initiatives and tools whichthey are willing to share or even help adapt to the conditions of other countries.

    34. In addition, several countries in the region have experts alreadyexperienced in the use of space technologies for many applications and arewilling to provide expert training, advice, tools and information to countriesthat are less experienced or have less access, often as in-kind contributions oftheir time and resources. Some of these institutions, such as the Centre for

  • 9

    Space Science and Technology Education in Asia and the Pacific, the AsianInstitute of Technology and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, have beenengaged in such capacity-building initiatives. Many countries are activelyengaged in supporting other developing countries with capacity-building,software, satellite and remote-sensing data, information and communicationstechnology applications and expert advice.

    C. Resources

    35. To support the actions set forth in the Plan of Action, appropriate andtargeted financing will be needed. While it is envisaged that implementationand financing will primarily be the responsibility of national Governments,multiple financing sources can be utilized, and innovative ways sought, tosupport implementation at the national and regional levels.

    36. Financial resources will assist countries in responding to some of theidentified challenges. To support and enable the use of space applications andtheir associate tools for sustainable development, a trust fund could contributeto narrowing the capacity gaps in the region, ensuring that an integratedapproach is developed based on adequate resources, comprising a network ofpartners and linking to other initiatives outside the region. Other donors andpartners could also support individual activities or parts of the Plan of Action.

    37. Many countries are already providing considerable in-kind supportthrough satellite imagery and data, training, expert advice, software or tools,infrastructure, experience sharing and personnel to maintain regional resourcesand support other national Governments, all of which amounts to over a milliondollars a year. Several countries in the region have experts already experiencedin the use of space technologies for many applications and are willing toprovide expert to countries less experienced. Governments have supportedactivities in the past, though great potential also exists to harness private sectorsupport or develop effective public-private partnerships.

    V. Phased review of progress towards the Plan of Action

    38. The Intergovernmental Consultative Committee recognizes the need toreview and amend the Plan of Action, as it covers a period until 2030, to reflectthe evolving needs of countries, emerging technologies, shifting priorities andunforeseen challenges arising in the region. As a result, a phased review ofimplementation has been suggested over four-year periods, at the ministeriallevel. It should be noted that different sub-regions and countries have their ownpriorities. For example, research and knowledge-sharing are a higher priorityfor the Pacific region, and therefore Small Island developing States are likelyto prioritize activities that fall into this category.

    39. Under this Plan of Action, national implementation is voluntary innature and driven by country needs. It will guide participating countries andorganizations on actions required of Governments, and allowsintergovernmental mechanisms, national Governments and international andtechnical organizations to prepare their own work plans to support the Plan ofAction. ESCAP will conduct biennial reviews with the support of membercountries and report findings to the Intergovernmental Consultative Committeeon the Regional Space Applications Programme for Sustainable Developmentand relevant ESCAP intergovernmental committees, to share experiences andseek support to overcome challenges though regional cooperation.
