The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum is a voluntary climate initiative of developed and developing nations that accounts for about 75 percent of all manmade CO2 emissions. The CSLF was established in 2003 and focuses on development of CCS technologies as a means of accomplishing long-term stabilization of GHG levels in the atmosphere. Its goal is to improve carbon capture and storage technologies through coordinated research and development with international partners and private industry. This could include promoting the appropriate technical, and regulatory environments for the development of such technology.

At the second ministerial meeting, 10 joint projects were recognized.  These projects range is scope and as a whole are expected to increase our knowledge in all areas, including technology, economics, health, safety, and the environment. Overall, they demonstrate the breadth and richness of ongoing activities around the world involving CO2 capture, transport and storage and should lay the foundation for new and enhanced technology cooperation under the CSLF.

As of September 2007, the CSLF Projects webpage listed 19 projects, and 22 members, including 21 countries and the European Commission.

The CSLF is an international climate change initiative that will focus on development of carbon capture and storage technologies as a means to accomplishing long-term stabilization of greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere. This initiative is designed to improve carbon capture and storage technologies through coordinated research and development with international partners and private industry. The website provides information on the CSLF, its member countries, and details on the joint projects that have been recognized.
