The Secure World Foundation and Exponential Academy are pleased to release Episode 8 of ESG in Space, a podcast series hosted by Nishan Degnarain and Miki Sode that explores the intersection of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles in the space sector.

In this season finale, Nishan and Miki are joined by Ian Christensen of Secure World Foundation for a wide-ranging conversation that reflects on lessons learned from eight episodes exploring space sustainability, governance, capital markets, and the evolving space economy.

Together, they examine emerging themes like the critical role of coordination, growing pressure for inclusive governance, and the need to link private capital to mission assurance and responsible operations. They also revisit powerful insights from earlier guests, from the ethics of AI in space systems to the value of public-private partnerships, to the evolving role of space data in national economies.

As the ESG framing faces political headwinds, the discussion turns to deeper, enduring principles: trust, transparency, and a commitment to using space for the benefit of all. The hosts close the season with an invitation to the audience to shape what comes next.
