Dear Colleagues,

Warm greetings from the Organising Committee of the 7th World Landslide Forum (WLF-7).

We are pleased to invite you to participate in WLF-7, the world’s largest global gathering dedicated to landslide science, risk reduction, and resilient communities. The event will be hosted in India, from 23–27 November 2026, at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, New Delhi, India. 

Theme of WLF7: Landslide Science and Practice for Safe and Resilient Communities

Under this overarching theme, WLF-7 will foster global collaboration among scientists, engineers, policymakers, practitioners, and international organisations to advance landslide risk understanding, mitigation, and governance. The forum is aligned with the Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020 (KLC2020), the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Prime Minister’s 10-Point Agenda for Disaster Risk Reduction and other international DRR initiatives.
