The 5th International Symposium on Slope Risk and Resilience

Rapid climate change and the increasing frequency of extreme meteorological events are exacerbating slope instability across a broad range of geomorphological settings, from high-mountain regions to coastal low-relief hills and submarine environments. These climate-driven geohazards present substantial threats to human settlements and critical infrastructure, with particularly acute implications for densely populated megacities. Addressing these challenges necessitates a fundamental transition from conventional methodologies toward intelligent, resilience-centered frameworks for slope disaster risk reduction.

The 5th International Symposium on Slope Risk and Resilience will provide as a vital platform for global experts to share cutting-edge research, discuss AI-powered mitigation strategies, and collaborate on innovative solutions for slope resilience. Following successful editions in Shanghai (2018), Edinburgh (2020), Sendai (2022), and Toronto (2024), this symposium will focus on translating scientific insights into practical actions—strengthening slope resilience in an era of climate change and supporting sustainable, safe urban development.
