The 2024 Outer Space Security Conference (OS24) provides a unique forum for the diplomatic community, along with experts from the military, industry, civil society and academia to jointly consider challenges and solutions related to security in outer space.  As space technology becomes increasingly critical to modern life on Earth, ensuring the security of outer space is paramount. Advances in new technology and the growing threats they may pose to the security of space systems raise serious concerns. With the rising importance of outer space for States and individuals alike, it is essential to maintain its security.   The international community has undertaken several multilateral efforts to address the complex threats and risks to and from space systems, and further multilateral processes are envisaged around space security and the prevention of an arms race in outer space in the future.  The 2024 Outer Space Security Conference will bring together a diverse set of perspectives to take stock of these past initiatives and explore a range of different tools and processes designed to enhance space security and support the international community as it works to prevent an arms race in outer space (PAROS).
