The Second World Landslide Forum, Rome, 2011and the Third World Landslide Forum, Beijing, 2014

Abstract The SecondWorld Landslide Forum was held at the head-quarters of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nationson 3–9 October 2011 in Rome, Italy. The Third World LandslideForum (WLF3) is to be held at the China National Convention Centerin Beijing, China from 2 to 6 June 2014. This article first outlines theaims and background of theWorld Landslide Forums, reports on theSecond World Landslide Forum in Rome, and then announces theplans for the ThirdWorld Landslide Forum in Beijing. Finally, it callsfor contributions for the organization of WLF3 and participa-tion in the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) andthe International Programme on Landslides.

Keywords International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) .

International Programme on Landslides (IPL) . World LandslideForum (WLF)

Aim and backgroundThe International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) was establishedby the 2002 Kyoto Declaration “Establishment of an InternationalConsortium on Landslides”, with Statues adopted in January 2002.The Objectives of the Consortium and the General Assembly (itssuccessor from 2008 is the World Landslide Forum) are stated inthe chapter II and XI of the Statutes (http://icl.iplhq.org/).

Chapter II: ObjectivesThe principal objectives are to:

(a) promote landslide research for the benefit of society and theenvironment, and capacity building, including education,notably in developing countries

(b) integrate geosciences and technology with appropriate cul-tural and social contexts to evaluate landslide risk in urban,rural, and developing areas including cultural and naturalheritage sites, as well as to contribute to the protection of thenatural environment and sites of high societal value

(c) combine and coordinate international expertise in landsliderisk assessment and mitigation studies, thereby creating aneffective international organization which can act as a partnerin various international and national projects

(d) promote a global, multidisciplinary program on landslides

Chapter XI: General assemblyIn order to report and disseminate the activities and achieve-ments of the consortium, a General Assembly shall be con-vened every 3 years by inviting Members of the InternationalConsortium on Landslides, individual members within thoseorganizations, and all levels of co-operating organizations andindividual researchers, engineers and administrators. The

General Assembly will receive reports on Consortium activi-ties and provide a forum for open discussion and new ini-tiatives from all participants.

The First General Assembly 2005 to the First World Landslide Forum 2008The First General Assembly was organized at the Keck Center ofthe National Academy of Sciences in Washington D.C., USA on 12–14 October 2005. It was hosted by the US Geological Survey and theNational Research Council of the National Academy of Science ofthe USA. At this Assembly, the first full-color book by the Inter-national Consortium on Landslides, reporting consortium activi-ties for the initial 3 years, 2002–2005, was published as“Landslides-Risk analysis and sustainable disaster management”through Springer (Sassa et al. 2005).

The 2006 Tokyo Round-Table Discussion “StrengtheningResearch and Learning on Earth System Risk Analysis andSustainable Disaster Management within UN-ISDR as RegardsLandslides”—towards a dynamic global network of the Inter-national Programme on Landslides (IPL) was held at theUnited Nations University, Tokyo, from 18 to 20 January,2006, to formulate a framework for cooperation and to iden-tify focus areas to reduce landslide risk worldwide. The 2006Tokyo Action Plan was adopted as a summary of the meeting,to be implemented within the scope of the Hyogo Frameworkfor Action 2005–2015, “Building the Resilience of Nations andCommunities to Disasters”, declared at the United Nations WorldConference on Disaster Reduction held in Kobe, Japan in 2005 (Sassa2006). The Tokyo Action Plan established the IPL. It realized item (d)“promote a global, multidisciplinary Programme on Landslides” inArticle II: Objectives in the Statutes of the consortium (http://www.iplhq.org).

The IPL is a joint programme established by the ICL, the UnitedNations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization(UNESCO), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Foodand Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), theUnited Nations International Strategy for Disaster Risk Reduction(UNISDR), United Nations University (UNU), the InternationalCouncil for Science (ICSU), and theWorld Federation of EngineeringOrganizations (WFEO). The International Symposiumon Landslidesexchanged the Memorandum of Understanding with each of theabove seven global stakeholders to promote the 2006 Tokyo ActionPlan and the International Programme on Landslides within 2006.The International Programme on Landslides defined the WorldLandslide Forum as one of its promotional activities to create aglobal information platform for future joint activities of the world-wide landslide community. A General Assembly plan was developedto meet at a World Landslide Forum convened every 3 years. Thesecond General Assembly 2008 was replaced by the First WorldLandslide Forum, held at the United Nations University, Tokyo,Japan on 18–21 in November 2008 (Sassa 2009).

An example Certificate for the International Centrefor Geohazards in Norway is shown in Fig. 2.

IPL Awards for successIn 2011, 43 IPL projects had ongoing status in one or more aspectsof scientific research, capacity development, publication, and in-formation dissemination. These projects were carried out either bya group of developed countries or a group of developing countriesin 2011. The basic concept of the award for success is:

1. The achievement of IPL projects is much affected by the financesand the infrastructure of the developed or developing country. Theaim of the IPLAward for Success is not to select the best IPL project,but to select the successful IPL projects relative to the circumstancesof the group.

2. Although funds are required to implement projects, ICL is not afunding agency and cannot allocate research funds to each IPLproject. ICL, however, may evaluate the results of IPL projects andaward 3,000 USD to successful project leaders, with a certificateendorsing the successful project implementation. This can be ef-fective in furthering the research and capacity development activ-ities of the group.

The guidelines of IPL Awards for success are as follows:

1. IPL awards will be given to a maximum of three successfulprojects implemented within the previous 3 years of IPL activ-ities at each World Landslide Forum.

2. IPL awards for 2011 were selected from all ongoing and pastIPL projects because it was the first time that such awards havebeen made.

3. Leader(s) of an awarded project will receive 3,000 USD and acertificate.

4. Technical evaluation of IPL projects will be carried out by theEvaluation Committee by rating three aspects: project objec-tives (20 %), implemented activities (40 %), and outcomes(40 %) using different weights based on the application form,the annual reports, and articles submitted to the IPL book“Landslides: Global Risk Preparedness”.

5. Evaluation of projects was based on the types of projects:research, capacity building, implementation of disaster miti-gation, and others.

The evaluation committee of IPL Award for Success (Chair:Badaoui Rouhban,Director, Section ofDisaster Reduction ofUNESCO)recommended the following three projects, which have been approvedby the IPL Global Promotion Committee (Chair: Salvano Briceno,Director of UNISDR 2001–2011).
