Achieving net zero carbon by 2025 will require radical changes in transport and governance. Strategic urban mobility plans, or SUMPs, can help local and regional authorities meet challenging European Green Deal targets. In his Amplify article, Andrea Lorenzini describes the CIVITAS SUMP-PLUS project, which set up six laboratories to demonstrate how cities can develop the next generation of SUMPs that “put mobility at the heart of sustainable urban transformation.” Explore this sustainable, resilient, and integrated framework for urban mobility below, or here: https://lnkd.in/eUE_vZPn #SustainableMobility #UrbanInnovation #Amplify Arthur D.

Free-floating car-sharing systems could contribute substantially to reducing traffic density and CO2 emissions. But uneven travel patterns can create a vehicle distribution imbalance. One proposal to mitigate this challenge is with an anticipative customer-centric pricing approach. This data-driven pricing model would charge different customers different prices for the same car, depending on their location, reducing operational costs and improving sustainability via reduced emissions, according to the authors.

Space could be 3D printing’s killer app. Curt Hall looks at a wide array of 3D printing applications in the space industry, including earth-based spacecraft parts manufacture and space-based 3D printing with plastic, metal, locally sourced materials and even bioprinting. The advancement of this versatile technology "will support both human and robotic missions and lay the foundation for a sustainable human presence in the cosmos."

Though vast, orbital space is not infinite. Adding large-scale commercial satellite launches to already-orbiting operating and abandoned satellites creates the potential for “a tragedy of the commons” in space. Dr. Moriba Jah proposes a solution guided by the tenets of traditional ecological knowledge, that include recognizing space as a dynamic ecosystem in which changes in one part can impact the whole, designing satellites and spacecraft for longevity/reusability, and promoting a greater sense of accountability among spacefaring nations and commercial entities.

Earth’s orbit is becoming too cluttered, putting our access to space at risk. In his Amplify article, Victor Heaulme sees solutions to the growing space waste problem coming first from policy, then technology. Explore technologies for more accurate tracking of space objects of all sizes, monitoring software that automates collision warnings, technology that remotely removes objects in orbit, and more.

A space mission cyberattack could lead to data loss, compromise missions, and endanger human life. In his Amplify article, Sylvester Kaczmarek describes a variety of threat scenarios along with a sobering collection of real-world cybersecurity incidents in space missions. He advises a number of strategies for mitigating space-related cyber threats, including AI models that anticipate and prevent attacks before they occur, encryption methods resistant to quantum attacks, and international cooperation to harmonize regulations across countries.
