N2 - Over the last two decades, an international program of lunar exploration has continued to pick up speed, with over ten countries launching missions towards the Moon, successful robotic landings by several of them, and plans for humans to return to the surface and begm-for the first time-to learn how to live and work on another planetary body. Multiple commercial companies are designing and launching lunar landers, heraldnig unprecedented public access to the lunar surface. The Moon is a celestial body with deep cultural meaning to a great number of populations across planet Earth. Thus, it is important to engage the whole world as the next fundamental science and exploration steps are taken. The importance of worldwide engagement in the science and exploration of the Moon is well established. Numerous organizations, including the International Lunar Exploration Working Group (ILEWG), the Moon Village Association (MVA)'s Global Expert Group on Sustainable Lunar Activities or (GEGSLA), and the International Space Exploration Coordination Group (ISECG), have been developing roadmaps for international partnerships in lunar exploration, engaging countries that have not historically been a part of space exploration efforts. The International Lunar Year seeks to build on the strong foundation that these organizations have lam by forging a sustained campaign of collaborations involving scientists, policy makers, engineers, the commercial sector. educators, and the public throughout the world, to establish together new guidelines and standards for exploration and for disseminating scientific date.
