Responsibility to defend Earth as a core principle of the planetary defence security regime
In his most recent research published in Nature Communications journal, our senior researcher Nikola Schmidt, discusses the need to establish a "Responsibility to Defend Earth" (R2DE) as a foundational principle for a planetary defense security regime.
The study argues that while the scientific community has made significant progress in understanding asteroid impact risks and developing technical responses, there is still a lack of global consensus on how to act and what values to protect. The article advocates for the creation of a comprehensive planetary defense regime that includes procedural, cognitive, and normative components, emphasizing the importance of international cooperation and shared responsibility.
