Objectives:  Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and short lived climate pollutants (SLCP) from the Asian region have been increasing continuously due to rapid population growth and industrial activities. Quantification of GHG’s and SLCP from different sources in Asia and understanding their climate impacts is an important task requiring integration of both top-down (satellite remote sensing) and bottom-up (ground based) approaches including modeling.  Through involving GOFC-GOLD - Southeast Asia Regional Research and Information Network (SEARRIN) linked with other international and local projects, we envisage to achieve the following objectives: a). review GHG and SLCP emission estimates and methodologies from different sources including biomass burning in the Asian region; b). address impacts of land cover/land use changes on greenhouse gas emissions/aerosols; c). understand the impact of GHG’s and aerosols on local climate; d). explore the potential of satellite remote sensing datasets for quantifying pollutants, aerosols and pollution episodes; e). review inverse modeling approaches for characterizing emissions; f). strengthen the SEARRIN activities in the region through involving more researchers in the region. The goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers working on Land cover/land use change and Atmospheric science to exchange results and ideas.

The workshop had the following scientific sessions:

1. Regional and National Science Initiatives
2. Land Cover/Land Use Changes, Forests and GHG emissions 
3. Inventories, Monitoring and Modeling of GHG's and air pollution
4. Vegetation Fires and Biomass Burning Emissions
5. Aerosols and Radiation
6. Discussion Session: SEARRIN and Regional Science Summary
