What technical assistance is provided under the Climate Leaders program?
EPA provides free technical assistance to each Partner as they develop and document their IMP and complete their base year inventory. Technical assistance encompasses all aspects of creating a credible GHG inventory, including implementing GHG accounting methods, and measuring, tracking, and reporting GHG emissions. EPA also provides an inventory review process to offer feedback on improving the accuracy, efficiency, and relevance of Partners’ GHG inventory data and management systems. The level of assistance involved will vary with the needs of the Partner and Agency resources. After the completion of a Partner’s base year inventory, EPA experts may continue to provide free technical assistance annually to help Partners update their IMP, adjust their base year inventory, and calculate new emission sources. Details of the types of technical assistance provided under the Climate Leaders program are available on the program Web site.
