International Programme on Landslides—A Short Overview of Its Historical Development

Abstract: The International Programme on Landslides (IPL) was launched in 2002 by the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) to reduce landslide disaster risk, and in 2006 developed into a global cooperation programme by international organizations supporting ICL activities. Ever since, it is successfully managed by the Global Promotion Committee, consisting of the International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) members and representatives from the ICL supporting organizations. The article reviews the main IPL activi… Show more

Education is a human right and plays a decisive role in capacity building from the pre-school level to professional, under-, and postgraduate university study programmes in higher education institutions and beyond, such as summer schools or as a part of lifelong education for a general audience. It gives us a profession or helps the general population and diverse stakeholders (e.g., policy and decision makers) increase society’s resilience against natural hazards, such as landslides. Thus, education finds a principal place also in numerous international documents accepted by the UN organizations.The article looks at education as a topic of international strategic documents on disaster risk reduction. It uses diverse web tools and databases to assess worldwide efforts in teaching/education on landslides and their disaster risk reduction at higher education levels and beyond. The focus is on the higher education study programmes offering courses on slope stability and landslide mitigation. This topic is widely covered by study programmes in the field of disaster risk management and classical study programmes in civil, geological, geotechnical engineering, as well as in geology and geography. The second cycle covers the landslide topic, i. e. master study programmes and university programmes are prevailing. There is an apparent lack of academic programmes offered as blended programmes or distance learning programmes in disaster risk reduction, including landslide risk. Certificates and diploma levels prevail among academic programmes offered as online courses or continuing education.The web search found a few (summer) schools dedicated to landslide topics and a variety of other open-access material that can be used for education and capacity building, such as blogs, databases, teaching tools, presentations, or video lectures.The International Consortium on Landslides might offer collected information in this article on its web pages under the topic “Educational tools” and then open it up to their members and landslide community to contribute to the content by sending links to elsewhere freely available educational material in landslide disaster risk reduction.

University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Civil and Geodetic Engineering (UL FGG) is a Full Member of the International Consortium on Landslides, and an Official Promoter of the 2020 Kyoto Commitment for Landslide Risk Reduction. In this article, the activities in the period 2020–2023 that have contributed to the 2020 Kyoto Commitment are shortly reviewed. The main research and capacity-building activities were conducted within the framework of the World Centre of Excellence (2020–2023) on Landslides in Weathered Heterogenous Sedimentary Rock Masses such as Flysch, and a few International Programme on Landslides (IPL) projects: IPL-225, IPL-261, and IPL-262. UL FGG also supported the activities of the UNESCO Chair on Water-related Disaster Risk Reduction (WRDRR) at the University of Ljubljana which was active in research of rainfall-induced landslides, their triggering and mitigation. The reviewed activities also contributed to the UNESCO Intergovernmental Hydrological Program and its IXth phase (2022–2029), the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction (2015–2030), and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
