Foreword by the Executive Director of the European Union Agency for the Space Programme

The world reached a significant milestone as the global population hit 8 billion people. This remarkable achievement in human development is a result of gradual improvements in public health, nutrition, personal hygiene and medicine, which have led to an increase in the human lifespan. However, with the latest projections indicating that the population will reach 9 billion by 2037, we must prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
