Technological advance has assured humanity’s desire to increase its quality of life, anyway humanity is currently confronted with several global challenges, their complexity bases on their interconnectedness, and on fast changes in technological field. Present space activities are directed to explore the potential of diverse celestial bodies to have hosted life. In this context the Moon Village Association, MVA has as its main objective creating a global informal forum for governments, industry, academia for debating the Moon Village concept. MVA fosters cooperation for existing or planned global moon exploration programs by establishing the Global Expert Group on Sustainable Lunar Activities, GEGSLA. On a global level the United Nations Office for Outer Space Activities, UNOOSA, through its Committee, Policy, and Legal Affairs Section, CPLA provides main support to the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space, UN-COPUOS. By the delegation of Romania, COPUOS has recently prepared a Proposal on a Consultative Mechanism on Lunar Activities, stating that lunar missions will for sure be carried out soon through efforts of space agencies and commercial stakeholders. In this context COPUOS is emphasizing the need to preserve the peaceful use of outer space by starting a new era of sustainable space exploration. This vision is urging global cooperation for shaping sustainable lunar activities, an Action Team on Lunar Activities Consultation, ATLAC, being proposed by the first author of this contribution. Therefore, some technical and operational issues are debated, which could be faced by lunar operators, being brought into debates by ATLAC with the goal of ensuring sustainable lunar activities.
