CLASP conducts some of its technical analysis through an international network of partners, who are experts in the various aspects of S&L. Currently,
CLASP joined the ClimateWorks Foundation (CWF) as a Global Best Practice Network (BPN) in March 2009. ClimateWorks' BPNs are institutions staffed by technical and regulatory experts who help design, implement, and enforce policies proven to reduce [[CO2 emissions]]. The ClimateWorks Foundation focuses on the sectors and regions responsible for most of the world's carbon emissions. CLASP, as part of its partnership with ClimateWorks, moved from working exclusively in developing countries to also working in more industrialized economies including the United States and European Union.<ref>{{cite web| title=ClimateWorks Foundation|url=http://www.climateworks.org/}}</ref>
