The World Landslide Forum (WLF) has been held every three years since its inaugural edition in Tokyo, Japan, in 2008. It brings together scientists, engineers, practitioners and policymakers from around the world to share knowledge, advance landslide science and technology, and strengthen international cooperation in landslide disaster risk reduction.
The 7th World Landslide Forum (WLF7) will take place on 22–27 November 2026 at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Faridabad, India, with pre-conference workshops on 22 November. Under the theme “Landslide Science and Practice for Safe and Resilient Communities,” WLF7 will bring together the global landslide community to advance research, exchange practical solutions and strengthen collaboration towards safer and more resilient communities.
WLF7 contributes to major international and national frameworks and commitments, including:
WLF7 aims to strengthen collaboration between landslide researchers and practitioners, identify shared priorities and advance coordinated action on landslide risk reduction at global, regional and local levels.
The Forum will explore key areas of landslide science and practice, including landslide analysis, monitoring and early warning, modelling, hazard and risk assessment, mitigation strategies, landslide triggering mechanisms, and the impacts of climate change.
In line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, WLF7 is committed to environmentally responsible event practices. These include reducing reliance on printed materials and making programme information and proceedings available primarily in electronic formats.
WLF7 welcomes an international audience working across landslide science, disaster risk reduction and community resilience, including:
