I have to actively manage panic and anxiety attacks, depressive episodes, and there have been instances where I have felt physically ill due to the lack of action from global leaders.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/06/spacewatchgl-opinion-gloc-2023-making-sense-of-space-for-climate-action-by-addressing-the-crisis-root-causes/ Fri, 16 Jun 2023 07:45:55 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=49411 On May 23-25 2023, we attended (online) GLOC2023: The Global Space Conference on Climate Change 2023, organized under the patronage of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and its member the Norwegian Space Agency (NOSA).]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-interview-with-christian-hauglie-hanssen/ Fri, 26 May 2023 14:00:09 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-interview-with-christian-hauglie-hanssen/ Directly after the closing ceremony of GLOC 2023, Torsten Kriening spoke with Christian Hauglie-Hanssen, Director General of the Norwegian Space Agency and host of the event, about his spontaneous recap.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-space-communicator-talk/ Fri, 26 May 2023 13:30:47 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-space-communicator-talk/ After the GLOC 2023 in Oslo, the SpaceWatch.Global team, Dr. Emma Gatti, Remco Timmermans and Torsten Kriening used the unique opportunity to talk with CGTV Space Reporter Wu Lei.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-interview-with-ru-abbas-kermani/ Fri, 26 May 2023 13:00:09 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-interview-with-ru-abbas-kermani/ As the third day of GLOC 2023 comes to an end, SpaceWatch.Global Dr Emma Gatti spoke with BBC Journalist and moderator of the first day at the conference, Ru Abbas Kermani about the event and space communication in general.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-interview-with-dr-agnieszka-lukaszczyk/ Fri, 26 May 2023 12:30:22 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-day-3-interview-with-dr-agnieszka-lukaszczyk/ On day 3 of GLOC 2023 in Oslo, Torsten Kriening had teh opportunity to talk to Dr. Agnieszka Lukaszczyk of Planet about the conference, the data, solutions and capabilities that her companies offer to act against climate change now!]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-the-day-after-krienings-morning-thoughts/ Fri, 26 May 2023 07:30:54 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-the-day-after-krienings-morning-thoughts/ On this way home, Torsten Kriening offers his thoughts about the conference and the next steps.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2023/05/gloc-2023-closing-ceremony-and-future-perspectives/ Fri, 26 May 2023 07:00:27 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=49004 On Thursday, the 25th of May, GLOC2023, Global Space Conference on Climate Change, the first Space conference entirely dedicated to Climate Change closed it’s first edition in Oslo, Norway's capital city.
