EUMETSAT unveils Strategy 2040 amid great-power rivalry, shifting space cooperation

EUMETSAT has released its new roadmap, Strategy 2040, replacing Destination 2030, in response to the erosion of the post-war multilateral order and intensifying great-power competition. The strategy signals a pivot in European space cooperation, likely prioritizing resilience and strategic autonomy. The specific operational changes remain unclear, but the shift reflects broader geopolitical pressures on European institutions.
