#parisagreements — Public Fediverse posts

[The #SpaceIndustry in the 21st century] In order to comply with the #ParisAgreements, the space industry must reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 7% per year. To this end, new low-carbon #technologies must be developed, and priority given to major space missions aiming to revolutionize our #scientific knowledge.

These two areas of development are called #decarbonization and #frugality. Eleven French researchers, including @didier_barret, Olivier Berné, @jknodlseder and Aurélie Marchaudon from IRAP, detail their possible implementation in the French space sector: “Towards sustainable space research in France”: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-025-02506-w

[#SummerNews #4] How can #research in #astronomy be adapted to climate issues? How to make it compatible with the #ParisAgreements?

Several IRAP researchers (including @jknodlseder ) have quantified the #CarbonFootprint of astronomical observatories and #SpaceMissions. The results are indisputable: emissions are following an upward trend, largely dominated by space missions. How can this tendency be reversed?

Researchers have put forward several ideas: https://www.irap.omp.eu/en/2024/08/when-the-stars-fade-astronomy-and-its-carbon-footprint/

Monitoring #GHG emissions is the only way to know whether the #ParisAgreements are being respected.
