You will find here (http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GlobalRisks_Report_2013.pdf) the latest issue of the “Global Risks” report of the World Economic Forum (will be officially presented at the next World Economic Forum Annual meeting in Davos).
Note in particular the a full page is dedicated to space (p. 34 “Bringing Space down to Earth”), ending with the conclusion that “Through their ability to see and speak to all corners of the world, land, air and sea, satellites are enablers that strengthen our resilience to a wide range of global risks. Broader awareness of this fact is needed to ensure that our critical space-based infrastructure is managed sustainably and that we do not underestimate the potential impacts if these critical systems fail.”
