U.S. Forest Service Interagency Agreement

The U.S. Forest Service (USFS) will provide technical assistance to support RDMA's regional Global Climate Change mitigation programs, including the Low Emissions Asian Development (LEAD) and Lowering Emissions in Asia's Forests (LEAF) programs. The USFS will provide targeted technical assistance that supports improved forest carbon assessment methodologies, knowledge-sharing platforms focused on agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU), natural capital assessment, climate change curriculum development, forest degradation measurement and monitoring, fire management, and sustainable land management. USFS will also facilitate coordination among relevant USG agencies and USAID Missions in the region. Long-term results include strengthened regional capacity of national and international partners in low emission development strategies (LEDS) and sustainable forest management.

Adaptation programs enhance resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate change of people, places, and livelihoods. They may undertake activities in the following areas: improving access to science and analysis for decision making in climate-sensitive areas or sectors; establishing effective governance systems to address climate-related risks; and identifying and disseminating actions that increase resilience to climate change by decreasing exposure or sensitivity or by increasing adaptive capacity. Clean Energy programs reduce greenhouse gas and other climate-warming emissions while improving livelihoods. Clean energy practices include: development of low emission development plans; renewable energy; end use efficiency; greenhouse gas accounting and inventory systems; enabling environment and energy sector reforms necessary to support sustainable investments and energy systems; enhanced transmission, distribution, and operating systems; flared gas reduction; and renewable energy generation grid integration. Linkages may be made to Area EG.7 Modern Energy Services but the same funding should not be counted in both parts of the SPSD. Sustainable Landscapes programs promote sustainable land use practices through the development of low emissions development plans and/or Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) strategies; improved data and analytical tools; monitoring, reporting, and verification systems; enabling laws and policies; effective implementing institutions; social and environmental safeguards; economic incentives; and demonstration activities. Sustainable Landscapes programs may work with both public and private sector entities to help sustainable land use systems. Sustainable Landscapes work encompasses practices at all spatial scales to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Practices encompassed in this program area should ultimately contribute to the capacity for and development and implementation of cohesive national sustainable land management systems. Improve sustainability of a productive and clean environment by reducing risks to the health of the workforce and the population in general, communities, and ecosystems from environmental pollution and other environmental risks associated with industrial and agricultural production, urbanization, energy use, transport, and other human activity. Conserve biodiversity and manage natural resources in ways that maintain their long-term viability and preserve their potential to meet the needs of present and future generations. Activities include combating illegal and corrupt exploitation of natural resources and the control of invasive species. Programs in this element should be integrated with the Agriculture Area under Economic Growth and Conflict Mitigation and Reconciliation Area under the Peace and Security Category, when applicable and appropriate. Ensure that natural resources are managed in ways that sustain productivity, economic growth and healthy people and ecosystems. Activities include natural resource governance, resource based enterprises, and integrated water resource management. Program in this element should be integrated with the Climate Change, Biodiversity and Agriculture Areas and Elements under the Economic Growth Category. Ensure that land resources are managed in ways that promote economic growth, sustain ecological function, and reduce conflict over land resources. Activities include land policy, formalization of land tenure, improved governance of land resources, and land use planning. Programs should be integrated with Agriculture, Climate Change and Biodiversity Areas and Elements.
