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>

In 2011, CLASP was appointed as the Operating Agent for the Super-efficient Equipment and Appliance Deployment (SEAD) initiative, a multilateral collaboration initiated by the [[Clean Energy Ministerial]] (CEM) and the [[International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation]] (IPEEC) to transform the global market toward higher energy efficiency.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://superefficient.org/|title=SEAD Initiative}}</ref> SEAD member governments include Australia, Brazil, Canada, the European Commission, France, Germany, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
