International Consortium on Landslides

The International Consortium on Landslides is an international non-governmental and non-profit making scientific organization. The International Consortium on Landslides (ICL) was created in 2002 as a result of several international initiatives by specialists in the field of landslides. The principal objectives are to:

a) promote landslide research for the benefit of society and the environment, and capacity building, including education, notably in developing countries;
b) integrate geosciences and technology within the appropriate cultural and social contexts in order to evaluate landslide risk in urban, rural and developing areas including cultural and natural heritage sites, as well as to contribute to the protection of the natural environment and sites of high societal value;
c) combine and coordinate international expertise in landslide risk assessment and mitigation studies, thereby resulting in an effective international organization which will act as a partner in various international and national projects;
