SilvaCarbon is an interagency technical cooperation program of the United States government to enhance the capacity of tropical-forested countries to monitor, measure, and report carbon in their forests and other lands to strategically reduce tropical forest loss, decision-makers and the public need credible information about where and when forest loss is occurring.

How Does SilvaCarbon Work?

SilvaCarbon draws on the expertise of multiple U.S. government agencies and partners to advance the development and use of better information related to forest and terrestrial carbon. We collaborate with monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) from national and subnational offices through workshops, seminars, technical consultations, and training of trainer courses. We offer long-term, step-by-step support that yields accurate and sustainable national forest inventory systems; upgraded, cost-efficient remote sensing tools; and enhanced greenhouse gas reporting capabilities.
