In particular, the U.S. EPA—along with USAID and the University of Colorado—is working with
forest inventory teams in developing countries to enhance technical capacity and develop sustainable
inventory management systems. This work has included development of a software tool that provides support
for estimating the majority of emissions and removals from Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry and
Agriculture. Thus far, the program has assisted 7 Central American countries and is currently working with
6 Southeast Asian countries on their national greenhouse gas inventories for land use, land use change and
forestry, and agriculture.
