The peaceful, safe and sustainable development of the Moon requires law and policy as much as it needs technology and engineering.
Our Mission is to create a conducive policy environment for a peaceful, prosperous and collaborative future on the Moon, based on three pillars: policy development, policy implementation, and policy education.
-
Policies & Standards
Under our Lunar Policy Decalogue, we facilitate the cooperative setting and implementation of policies and standards for peaceful, safe, and sustainable lunar activities.
-
Priorities & Trends
Through our Reports & Snapshots we identify common ground among all stakeholders around priorities and trends to focus and shape the development of policies & standards.
-
Commentaries & Seminars
Through our Commentaries and Seminars we educate the global space community on key legal and policy issues, contributing to building capacity in lunar policy.
Policies & Standards
Building upon the common ground identified in the Lunar Policy Priorities Report, LPP is working with stakeholders from the global space community on
the realisation of a Lunar Policy Decalogue.
The Lunar Policy Decalogue is a set of ten deliverables enabling and accompanying the peaceful, safe,
and sustainable development of the Moon.
Each year, depending on ongoing developments, availability of funding, and community interests,
LPP will work to develop one or more deliverables from the Decalogue, ultimately aiming to complete
a first draft of all its elements at the latest by 2035.

Lunar Information Sharing
The Lunar Information Sharing 101 is the first and only document identifying common ground on core elements, guiding principles, and streamlined practices for lunar information sharing, based upon 5 months of extensive global consultations featuring over 35 governments, space agencies, lunar companies, and experts.
The LIS 101 is divided in 4 Parts:
Part I presents background information on LPP and outlines goals, structure, vision and methodology.
Part II identifies convergence and divergence on purposes, legal bases, mechanisms, stakeholders, and limitations.
Part III presents common ground on a working definition, guiding principles, and streamlined practices on what to share, where, how, and when, including a template.
Part IV concludes by summarising key takeaways
and outlining next steps for implementation.
Lunar Science & Ethics
The Guide to Lunar Science and Ethics is the first document identifying key scientific, cultural, and ethical interests in lunar exploration, and assess a path forward for a balanced approach, based upon 5 months of extensive global consultations with key scientific institutions and civil society entities worldwide.
The GLES is divided in 4 Parts:
Part I presents background information on LPP and outlines goals, structure, vision and methodology.
Part II presents key scientific, cultural and ethical interests, including an overview of potentially competing ones.
Part III outlines a variety of requirements suggested by stakeholders to preserve the interests identified in Part I, presents fragmentation gaps, and concludes with an analysis on convergence and divergence.
Part IV concludes by summarising key takeaways and proposing baseline suggestions on due regard, foundational principles and necessary practices to continue the conversation.
Looking ahead at 2026, in September 2025 LPP has developed and distributed a draft policy plan to outline areas of work for the year to come.
Following LPP’s action-oriented approach, the Plan is structured in 3 Parts: policy development, policy implementation, and policy education.
Within each Part, the Plan outlines specific areas that LPP would like to address, the concrete deliverables
it could produce, and the resources required to do so.
LPP firmly believes that all lunar policy activities, from development to implementation passing through education, are best undertaken as a global, collaborative and multi-stakeholder effort.
Any organisation interested in collaborating with LPP on the realisation of the 2026 policy plan, is warmly invited to contact the LPP Team at lpp@lunarpolicyplatform.org

Priorities & Trends
2023 Lunar Policy Priorities Report
Based upon a consultative process involving 40 stakeholders from the global space community, the Lunar Policy Priorities Report identifies ten priority areas to be addressed for the safe and sustainable development of the Moon.
2024 Lunar Policy Snapshot
Based upon an expert assessment of the lunar policy environment and wide consultations with the LPP network, the 2024 Lunar Policy Snapshot identifies key lunar-related developments occurred in the year 2024,
presenting stakeholder views and major policy implications.
On December 2nd, 2024, LPP unveiled the Snapshot at a dedicated event
on Lunar Policy Trends & Futures hosted on the margins of the 2024 UN World Space Forum in Bonn, with the participation of over 50 stakeholders representing the global space community.
On November 11th, 2023, the LPP officially unveiled the Lunar Policy Priorities Report at the Palais Brongniart in Paris through a dedicated panel discussion on lunar policy at the occasion of the 6th Paris Peace Forum (PPF).
