ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability is an international association of local governments dedicated to fostering a sustainable world. With valuable support from US Agency for International Development (USAID), ICLEI developed the Harmonized Emissions Analysis Tool (HEAT) online software to support local greenhouse gas and air pollution emission reduction planning. This software provides capacity to local governments to seek to reduce GHG emissions based on sound governance, economic development, improved waste management, energy efficiency, better urban mobility, and better air quality. Beyond being a planning tool, this site offers consultants, NGOs, government agencies, academics, and others free tools to translate energy, transportation and waste activities into pollution emissions.

|
In general the software will:
|
|
- Build an emissions inventory based on local energy use, transportation demand, and waste practices
- Help a user/city build a simple emissions forecast
- Set a target/goal for reducing emissions (e.g., reduce GHG emissions by 10%)
- Quantify emission reduction activities and their co-benefits
- Develop, report, and track progress made in meeting that target.

HEAT features 24/7 access from any computer with an internet connection and an optional downloadable standalone application for off-line work. Initial countries for which HEAT is being prepared include India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Brazil. |
