The Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020: launched
Abstract
The Kyoto 2020 Commitment for Global Promotion of Understanding and Reducing Landslide Disaster Risk (Kyoto Landslide Commitment 2020: KLC2020): A Commitment to the ISDRICL Sendai Partnerships 2015–2025, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030, the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals, the New Urban Agenda and the Paris Climate Agreement was launched on 5 November 2020 by the adoption of 2020 Kyoto Declaration at the end of its launching session. The KLC 2020 secretariat calls for further signatories to be approved by the General Conference of KLC2020 signatories at the Fifth World Landslide Forum on 2–6 November 2021 in Kyoto, Japan. This article reports the session without honorific titles of participants. Figure 1 is the logo of ICL and the logo of KLC2020. KLC2020 was proposed by the ICL based on the 2006 Tokyo Action Plan. The Memorandum of Understanding to promote the Action Plan was exchanged between the ICL and each of the ICL supporting organizations (UNESCO, WMO, FAO, UNDRR, UNU, ISC, and WFEO) in 2006. IPL and KLC2020 will continue to 2030 and beyond—this is symbolized by an arrow.
