The World Landslide Forums have been organized every three years since the first forum held in Tokyo, Japan, in 2008. They serve as a global platform for scientists, engineers, practitioners, and policymakers engaged in landslide disaster risk reduction to share knowledge, present scientific and technical advances, and strengthen international cooperation.
The 7th World Landslide Forum (WLF7) focuses on “Landslide Science and Practice for Safe and Resilient Communities” and will be held from 23–27 November 2026 at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Faridabad, India. WLF7 contributes to major international and national commitments, including
The aim of WLF7 is to foster effective collaboration among landslide researchers and practitioners to identify shared priorities and define coordinated actions for landslide risk reduction at global, regional, and local scales. The Forum will address key aspects of landslide science and practice, including landslide analysis, monitoring and early warning, modelling, hazard and risk assessment, mitigation strategies, triggering mechanisms, and the impacts of climate change.
In line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, WLF7 is committed to sustainability. The Forum will promote environmentally responsible practices, including reduced reliance on printed materials, with programme information and proceedings made available primarily in electronic format.
The World Landslide Forum is a flagship triennial international forum organized under the aegis of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) in collaboration with UNESCO and other UN and international organizations. It brings together global experts, policymakers, practitioners, and institutions working on landslide science, risk reduction, and resilience.
WLF7 will be hosted by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham at its Faridabad Campus, India, from 23 to 27 November 2026.
This is the first time the World Landslide Forum has been held in India.
