As an organization representing Japan’s science community encompassing humanities, socialsciences, life sciences, physical sciences, and engineering, the Science Council of Japan hascontinued to study the design and realization of a sustainable society. The annual “International Conference on Science and Technology for Sustainability” has been held as a crucial part of our efforts since 2003. This year marks the 100th commemoration of the Great Kanto Earthquake, and it is the midpoint for implementation of boththe Sendai Framework and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The theme of this year’s conference is,“Transforming Society to Become Resilient and Sustainable beyond Catastrophic Disasters.” According to the WMO(World Meteorological Organization), the number of weather, climate and water-related disasters has increased five-fold inthe past 50 years and has become more serious than ever. This spring, Turkey and Syria experienced a devastatingearthquake, and this summer many parts of the world were hit by disaster-level heat waves. Many different academic disciplines need to be involved in disaster management research, and they need to work jointly,beyond the boundaries of the field of expertise. The Science Council of Japan has been collaborating with a networkingorganization of 56 academic societies involved in disaster management, jointly cooperating with government authorities inthe event of major disasters in Japan and disseminating comprehensive counter measures. In order to achieve sustainable development, we need to minimize the impact of disasters and strengthen disaster resilience,that is, the ability to overcome and recover from damage. As UNDRR stated in their report, resilience, after all, is a keyconnector between climate change, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development. There are high expectations for academia to support the realization of such a sustainable, resilient and inclusive society. Ibelieve that the significance of convening a conference on this theme is to meet these expectations. To this end, let meexpress my earnest hope that there will be fruitful discussion at this conference. At the same time, I sincerely hope that thissymposium will serve as an opportunity to improve the understanding and awareness about disaster risk reduction amongthe general public. 梶田隆章日本学術会議会長 本日は、皆様を「持続可能な社会のための科学と技術に関する国際会議2023」にお迎えしますこと、大変光栄に存じます。 日本学術会議は人文・社会科学、生命科学、理学・工学を網羅し、日本の科学界を代表する機関として、持続可能な社会の設計と実現に向けた研究を続けてきました。「持続可能性のための科学と技術に関する国際会議」は、我々の重要な取り組みの一環として2003年から毎年開催されております。 今年は、関東大震災から100年目に当たり、『仙台防災枠組』及び『持続可能な開発のための2030アジェンダ』の推進の中間点でもあります。今回の会合のテーマは、「壊滅的災害に対してレジリエントで持続可能な社会への変革」です。世界気象機関（WMO）によりますと、気象、気候、水関連の災害の数は過去50年間で5倍に増加し、これまでよりも深刻さが増しています。この春、トルコとシリアは破壊的な地震を経験し、この夏には世界各地で災害級の熱波に見舞われました。 防災分野における研究には多くの学術分野が参画し、各専門分野の枠をこえて取り組む必要があると考えます。日本学術会議は、防災に関わる56の学会のネットワーク組織と連携し、我が国における大規模な災害に際し行政機関との協力を図ると共に、総合的な対策を発信してきました。 持続可能な開発の実現には、災害の影響を極力抑え、被害を乗り越え復活する力、すなわち災害レジリエンスの強化が必要であると考えます。国連防災機関の報告書の言葉を借りれば、結局、レジリエンスこそが、気候変動、災害リスクの軽減、持続可能な開発を結びつける鍵と言えます。 このように持続可能かつレジリエントで包摂的な社会の実現を支援するにあたり、学術界への期待は大きなものがあり、これをテーマに持続会議を開催する意義は、そのような期待に応えることにあるものと考えます。活発なご議論を期待するとともに、このシンポジウムが広く一般の方々における防災への理解と意識が向上する機会となることを切に願っております。 About the Conference International Conference on Science and Technology for Sustainability 2023- Transforming Society to Become Resilient and Sustainablebeyond Catastrophic Disasters - Date & Time: 10:00 - 16:40 (JST) September 7, 2023 / 9:30 - 17:05 (JST) September 8, 2023Venue:Hybrid (Onsite: Auditorium of Science Council of Japan, Online: ZOOM Webinar & YouTube)Organizer: Science Council of Japan (SCJ) International Conference on Science and Technology for Sustainability2023 Sub-CommitteeCo-Organizers: Japan Hub of Disaster Resilience Partner (JHoP), National Research Institute for Earth Scienceand Disaster Resilience (NIED)Endorsement
