International Astronautical Congress 2022

With the theme Space for @ll we would like to make this IAC an outstanding occasion to bring together all space communities, alongside the burgeoning global ecosystem and start-ups, entrepreneurs, laboratories, research scientists and manufacturers that could get involved in space activities or benefit from them. Special attention will be paid to students and young professionals, who will be closely associated through dedicated events. And the general public will bot be forgotten, as space-themed conferences and exhibitions will accompany IAC.

CNES, the 73rd International Astronautical Congress host, vows to produce the first environmentally sustainable IAC!

The certification process has been initiated according to the ISO 20121: 2012 “responsible event” standard. ISO 20121 offers guidance and best practice to help manage the event and control its social, economic, and environmental impact.

In addition to ISO 20121, IAC 2022 has decided to go even further and calculate its Carbon Footprint: the total amount of greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide and methane) generated by our actions of all departments of the event: from registration, accommodation, transport, materials, to food, energy, and waste.
