technology for practical applications and the benefit for the society contributing to the Kyoto
Landslide Commitment 2020 which is expected to continue up to 2030 and even beyond to globally
promote the understanding and reduction of landslide disaster risk as well as to address the
2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals.
