How activity in outer space will affect regional inequalities in the future

Retrieved on: 
Monday, June 5, 2023

Regional development is about tackling spatial injustice – that is, regional inequalities.

Key Points: 
  • Regional development is about tackling spatial injustice – that is, regional inequalities.
  • In devising these scenarios, we found that outer space isn’t only useful as a literary device.
  • Real future activity in outer space actually has significant potential to affect regional inequality back on Earth.

Four scenarios for Europe’s future

    • The EU is now a big player in outer space.
    • Environmental protection on Earth is prioritised as crucial to economic growth and the bloc is relegating polluting industries to orbital locations and beyond.
    • The economic benefits of these activities are shared out automatically among the bloc’s members.
    • In the second scenario, Green Guardian, climate catastrophe forces the world to refocus on sustainability and survival.
    • People can now be citizens of virtual spaces as well as physical nations –- including digital jurisdictions hosted in outer space.

Implications for the present

    • Even after Brexit, British development funds were being compared to the amount DG-Regio would have spent on UK regions.
    • We set these scenarios in the year 2048 – that is, four of DG-Regio’s seven-year funding cycles from the project’s start date.
    • To build them, we mapped out the institutions and communities with which DG-Regio interacts and explored the uncertainties shaping their decisions.
    • These include climate change, technological advances including AI and space travel, shifts in social values and geopolitical tensions.
    • Our scenarios are not predictions of what will happen, nor are they visions of what we’d like to see.
