Abstract
Space weather, driven by solar activity, poses a significant threat to the stability and reliability of modern technological infrastructures. This article provides a comprehensive review of the topic, examining the relationship between solar phenomena and their impacts on critical sectors such as telecommunications, aviation, energy, and the global economy. Historical events, including the 1859 Carrington storm and the Miyake events, are analyzed alongside recent disturbances associated with Solar Cycle 25. The specific vulnerability of Colombia to these phenomena is also discussed, alongside a strategic proposal for the establishment of the Colombian Space Weather Service (SCCE) as a key initiative to enhance national resilience to extreme solar activity and to promote scientific and technological development in space-related fields.
