The seventh World Landslide Forum will be held in Faridabad, marking India's inaugural hosting of the event, with participation from more than 75 countries.
Faridabad in Haryana will host the seventh edition of the World Landslide Forum, the first time the global gathering is being held on Indian soil. Delegates from over 75 nations are expected to attend, bringing together scientists, policymakers and disaster‑management experts.
The agenda will centre on strengthening landslide monitoring networks, enhancing early‑warning systems and promoting the development of resilient, safe communities in landslide‑prone regions. Participants will share latest research, technology and best‑practice case studies.
Organisers view the conference as a milestone for India’s disaster‑risk reduction efforts, underscoring the country's growing role in international geohazard research and cooperation.
The forum is slated for later this year, with sessions planned at the Faridabad International Convention Centre, though exact dates remain to be confirmed.
Stakeholders anticipate that outcomes from the meeting will feed into national policies and regional collaborations aimed at reducing landslide loss of life and property.
