Contribution of the International Consortium on Landslides to the implementation of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction: engraining to the Science and Technology Roadmap
Abstract A year after the establishment of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR), the science and technology community (STC) endorsed in Geneva the UNISDR Science and Technology Roadmap to Support the Implementation of the SFDRR 2015–2030 (STR-SFDRR). Conducted actions by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) reflect priorities and challenges at different scales with regard to the progress of multi-sectoral partnerships, recognising the key role of the STC for the implementation of the SFDRR. Central to such endeavour are the Sendai Landslide Partnerships 2015–2025 and the new-fangled Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020. While the former was conceived as a strategy for global promotion of understanding and reducing landslide disaster risk, the latter is directed to advocate for harmonic cohesiveness between the Sendai Landslide Partnerships 2015–2025, and the SFDRR, the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals, the New Urban Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement. By encompassing the linkages of the contributions of the ICL community to the expected outcomes of the STR-SFDRR, this paper provides valuable input to foster the SFDRR, and provides concrete information on the ongoing ICL initiatives, actions and deliverables for strengthening partnerships and science-informed public policies to reduce landslide disaster risk and to advance Integrated Landslide Disaster Risk Management at different scales.

ILDRiM Introduction In light of the mounting impact of disasters worldwide, it is becoming extremely difficult to ignore the need of promoting multi-scale partnerships for disaster risk reduction (DRR). Under this context, the underlying notion of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 (SFDRR), inheritor of the Hyogo Framework for Action, is focused on disaster risk management in lieu of managing disasters. The four priorities for action of the SFDRR include understanding disaster risk; strengthening disaster risk governance to manage disaster risk; investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience; and enhancing disaster preparedness for effective response and to “build back better” in recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction (UNISDR 2015). Owing to the work of individuals, STC teams and networks committed to DRR, collaborative efforts have been sought for advancing the evidence-based policy-making arena (AlcántaraAyala et al. 2015, 2017a; Cutter et al. 2015; Trogrlić et al. 2017; Satake et al. 2018). In one way or another, such contributions by the STC have been bound up within the SFDRR. As such, the significance of sustained research on DRR was mirrored in the references made of the characteristic endeavours of the STC to contribute to the imple
