An interview with Chiara Moenter, co-founder of the global initiative SDG 18: Space for All, and a leading voice in space sustainability and governance.

Chiara’s journey bridges policy, research, and communication. From her work at the European Space Agency and the German Aerospace Industry Association to her academic research on sustainable space governance, she has consistently focused on one central question: how can we ensure space remains a shared and sustainable resource for humanity?

Beyond policy, Chiara is also an active communicator and community builder — from moderating major international space events to delivering a TEDx talk on the Overview Effect, and contributing to global initiatives that connect space with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Chiara is a policy adviser for the New Zealand Space Agency. She is speaking here in her personal capacity.
