6th World Landslide Forum

The 6th World Forum on Landslides will be held in Florence from 14 to 17 November 2023. The event is jointly organized by the UNESCO Chair on the Prevention and Sustainable Management of Hydrogeological Risks of the University of Florence, by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) within the Global Promotion Committee of International Program on Landslides (IPL-GPC ), with the support of 5 United Nations organizations (UNESCO, FAO, WMO, UNDRR, UNU) and 4 federations of global scientific associations (ISC, WFEO, IUGS, IUGG).
The Landslide Science for Sustainable Development Forum constitutes a common platform to foster cooperation between scientists, professionals and policy makers dealing with landslides, with the aim of defining priority actions for risk reduction on a global scale.
The main aspects related to the study of landslides will be covered: monitoring and early warning, modeling, risk and hazard assessment, mitigation techniques, relationships with climate change.
