WCFS2023 Japan
Floating Solutions for the Next SDGs

Sponsorship Opportunities
World Conference on Floating Solutions (WCFS) aims at providing solutions to mitigate challenges
associated with climate change, population growth, renewable energy, food production, etc. by using floatingtechnologies. The first conference was held in Singapore in 2019 by the “Society of Floating Solutions,Singapore (SFSS) “and the second one in Rotterdam in 2020. We are delighted to announce the third
conference, WCFS2023 Japan to be held in Tokyo under the theme of “Floating Solutions for the Next SDGs”
as described below. We encourage you to join WCFS2023 Japan and exchange opinions together to make a
step forward to realize sustainable society in the light of Floating Solutions

1. Introduction
In recent years, the safety and security of people's lives around the world has been threatened by frequent
floods and rising sea levels attributable to climate change. The COP 26 has set a common global goal oflimiting the temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It is an urgent task to copewith climate change as well as to utilize decarbonized and renewable energy.
The UN is promoting the SDGs which aim to achieve 17 Goals between 2015 and 2030. However, efforts toreach the Goals will not end in 2030, but will be an ongoing challenge for humanity beyond 2030.Here, we
tentatively call the Goals to be achieved after the SDGs as “Next SDGs”.
WCFS2023 Japan aims to pioneer the SDGs and Next SDGs by making the most use of ocean and water.
Ocean and water have the potential to provide solutions to the disasters such as flooding and sea level risedue to climate change. In this context, WCFS2023 Japan will position ocean and water as the urban
infrastructure and will explore new technology and feasible solutions. In particular, it is necessary toconsider urban planning, marine architecture, port planning connecting land and sea, disaster prevention,
renewable energy and food production on the sea and water. Further, it is indispensable that knowledge,experience, dream and strong desire to realize these challenges are supported by a diversity of people.
