The Fifth World Landslide Forum (WLF5) on 2-6 November 2021, Kyoto, Japan
The Fifth World Landslide Forum (WLF5) was originally planned to be organized on 2–6 November 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Organizing Committee of WLF5 decided to postpone the WLF5 for 1 year to 2–6 November 2021 at the same venue (Kyoto International Conference Center) in Kyoto, Japan. Meanwhile, two thematic issues of Landslides titled “Sendai Landslide Partnerships 2015-2025” and six volumes of full color books titled “Understanding and Reducing Landslide Disaster Risk,” which are the inaugural volumes of new ICL book series ICL contribution to landslide disaster risk reduction (ISSN 2662-1894 (print version) and ISSN2662-1908 (electronic version)), will be published in October or November 2020, as initially scheduled. The 2020 ICL-IPL online virtual Conference will be organized on 2–6 November 2020 (original date of WLF5). The Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020 (KLC2020) will be established at the launching session on 5 November 2020 (World Tsunami Awareness Day) as a part of the virtual conference. Due to its postponement, activities of WLF5 are expanded from 2020 to 2021 and new activities have been added for the forum in 2021 while the organization structure is kept the same. The updated information is presented in this article.
