This Guidance Note aims to increase awareness among World Bank teams on methodologies that exist for landslide risk assessment, and nature-based solutions to manage identified risks. World Bank activities are both affected by landslides and other types of geohazards and, if not properly implemented, can contribute to increased landslide and geohazard risk. Specifically, landslides interface with forestry, agriculture, water, transportation, housing and urban sectors, among others, both increasing risks of loss of life and economic damages to these sectors as well as being impacted (potentially triggered) by activity within these sectors. Identifying and managing landslide risk is critical to the success of development projects across multiple sectors, and to the lives and livelihoods of the people who are meant to benefit from development activities.
