International Programme on Landslides (IPL):Objectives, History and List of World Centresof Excellence and IPL Projects

Qunli Han, Kyoji Sassa, Feng Min Kan, and Claudio Margottini

AbstractThe initial stage of IPL project which was managed by ICL started in 2002 at the same timeof ICL foundation. The first IPL project was publication of International Journal ofLandslides at this stage. The current second stage of IPL was defined by 2006 TokyoAction Programme on Landslides as an international programme managed by IPL GlobalPromotion Committee consisting of ICL and ICL supporting organizations (UNESCO,UNISDR and others). IPL includes IPL Projects conducted by ICL member organizations,the triannual World Landslide Forum and the World Centres of Excellence on LandslideRisk Reduction (WCoE). This paper describes those activities and the list of WCoE since2008 and the list of IPL projects both in the initial stage of IPL projects (2002–2008) andthe second stage of IPL projects (2008–present).

Objectives and Management

The objectives of the International Programme on Land-slides (IPL) are to provide international authorization andadvice to the projects proposed and implemented by ICLmembers. ICL was initially planned to create an Interna-tional Programme on Landslides, namely a version focusingon the study on landslides of the UNESCO-IUGS jointproject, International Geological Correlation Programme(IGCP).

The implementation of IGCP-425 “Landslide HazardAssessment and Mitigation for Cultural Heritage Sites andOther Locations of High Societal Value” provided a higherevaluation and greater fund raising for most of the thirty-onesubproject members. They are very active in research, butsuffer from lower evaluations and funding because landslideresearch is a minor or a very marginal study within theorganizations they belong to, and also within establishedscientific fields in funding programmes. The IGCP projectwill terminate within 5 years. Continuation is not easy, and a

number of landslide projects will not be adopted in IGCP(a very wide Geoscience Programme). The funding ofIGCP425 was around 4000 USD per year, which was sharedamong 31 subproject leaders as partial travel support fees.The aim of the International Programme on Landslides(IPL) is not to support research funding itself, but providepartial travel fees for members to attend ICL-IPL meetings,propose projects, evaluate projects, report project results,and terminate or continue the projects. The membership feefunds the sustainable and basic financial resources. Allmanagement of projects, including proposal, evaluation, anddecision on ongoing status is implemented by the IPL GlobalPromotion Committee of ICL (IPL-GPC). The committeeconsists of all ICL member organizations and IPL partnerorganizations (UNESCO, UNISDR, WMO, FAO, UNU,ICSU, WFEO and IUGS). During the first phase from 2008to 2013, the Chair of IPL-GPC was Salvano Briceno (For-mer Director of UNISDR for 2001–2011), and the DeputyChairs were Badaoui Rouhban (Former Director of Sec-tion for Disaster Reduction, UNESCO) and Kyoji Sassa(Executive Director of ICL). For the current phase from2014 to the present, the Chair of the Committee is QunliHan, Director of Ecological and Earth Sciences, UNESCO,and Deputy chairs are Feng Min Kan, Chief of UNISDRAsia-Pacific Office in Bangkok and Claudio Margottini(Vice President of ICL).

Development of International Programmeon Landslides (IPL)

The initial stage of IPL was from the First Board of Rep-resentatives (BOR) meeting in 2002 to the First WorldLandslide Forum in 2008. When the initial thirty-three ICLmembers gathered in this first BOR meeting, IPL projectswere classified in two categories. One category is coordi-nating projects which are planned by ICL multiple members,e.g., the whole ICL project to found a new landslide journal:IPL C100: Landslides: Journal of the International Consor-tium on Landslides, and the project succeeding theIGCP-412: C101: Landslide risk evaluation and mitigationin cultural and natural heritage sites. One subproject of C101was C101-1: Landslide investigation and capacity buildingin Machu Pichu—Aguas Calientes area. Another category ismember projects proposed by a single member organizationtogether with its partners.

Initially the ICL board decided to allocate 2000 USD forIPL projects proposed by developing countries, funded bymembership fees from developed countries. However, theresearch result was not cost-effective for the initial threeyears’ experiences. In the Steering Committee meeting inKyoto just before the UN World Conference on Disaster

Reduction in Kobe, 2005, how to use the limited fundseffectively was initially examined. The concept was toprovide research funds, but to give authorization to eachproject, and ICL-IPL will evaluate each project at eachWorld Landslide Forum and give an IPL Award for Suc-cess in one to three projects. The Award (3000 USD) forone project will be given to its leader. The IPL Award forSuccess is not an award for the best IPL project, asfunding, research facilities and research infrastructure differin various countries. The award will be given to thoseprojects with success within the given social, technical andfinancial conditions.

This award was approved in Tokyo, 2008 and applied inthe Second World Landslide Forum in Rome, 2011.

The IPL Awards for Success were given at the SecondWorld Landslide Forum at FAO Headquarters, Rome,October 2011, to:

The Second Stage of the InternationalProgramme on Landslides (IPL)

The Round Table Discussion, Strengthening Research andLearning on Earth System Risk Analysis and SustainableDisaster Management within UN-ISDR as Regards “Land-slides”, was co-organized by ICL, UNESCO, WMO, FAO,UNISDR, UNEP, UNU and Kyoto University at UnitedNations University, Tokyo, Japan on 18–20 January 2006.This discussion aimed to implement the 2005 Letter of Intentagreed at thematic session 3.8 New International Initiativesfor Research and Risk Mitigation of Foods (IFI) Interna-tional programme on Landslides (IPL) at the 2nd UnitedNations World Conference on Disaster Reduction in 2005.During this Round Table Discussion, the 2006 Tokyo ActionPlan on Landslides was adopted. This plan defined theInternational Programme on Landslides (IPL) as a pro-gramme of ICL for the International Strategy for DisasterReduction (ISDR), which is managed by the IPL GlobalPromotion Committee consisting of ICL and ICL partners.To promote the 2006 Tokyo Action Plan and to implementthe International Programme on Landslides, ICL exchangedMemorandums of Understanding with UNESCO, WMO,FAO, UNISDR, UNU, ICSU and WFEO in 2006. The IPLlogo then included those organizations.

New initiatives under the Tokyo Action Plan were toidentify the World Centre of Excellence on Landslide RiskMitigation and to organize a triannual World LandslideForum. In addition, two categories of IPL (CoordinatingProject and Member project) were combined and it wastermed as IPL-101, 150, and 200.

World Landslide Forum

In order to report and disseminate the activities andachievements of ICL, a World Landslide Forum (WLF) shallbe convened once every three years by inviting ICL Mem-bers and ICL Supporting organizations, individual memberswithin those organizations, and all levels of co-operatingorganizations and individual researchers, engineers andadministrators. The World Landslide Forum will receivereports on ICL’s activities and provide a forum for opendiscussion and new initiatives from all participants. This roleof the meeting was defined as a General Assembly. The firstGeneral Assembly was organized at Keck Center of theNational Academy of Sciences in Washington DC on 12–14October 2005. The second General Assembly was organizedas the First World Landslide Forum.

World Centres of Excellence

The World Centres of Excellence on Landslide RiskReduction were established by the 2006 Tokyo Action Plan;the Global Promotion Committee (GPC) of the InternationalProgramme on Landslides (IPL) will identify at the WorldLandslide Forum, organized every 3 years, eligible organi-zations such as universities, institutes, NGOs, governmentministries and local governments, contributing to “RiskReduction for Landslides and Related Earth System Disas-ters”. An independent Panel of Experts, set up by the GlobalPromotion Committee of International Programme onLandslides (IPL-GPC), endorses the WCoEs. Twelve WorldCentres of Excellence (WCoEs) 2008–2011 were identifiedat the First World Landslide Forum in November 2008 atUNU in Tokyo, Japan. Fifteen WCoEs for 2011–2014 wereidentified at the Second World Landslide Forum in October2011 at FAO, Rome, Italy. Fifteen WCoEs for 2014–2017were identified at the Third World Landslide Forum in June2014 at Beijing, China. Certificates of WCoEs were awardedin Beijing to each leader of the WCoEs by Ms. Irina Bokova,UNESCO Director General.
