Coalition Climat // Klimaatcoalitie

What Coalition Climat // Klimaatcoalitie does

Coalition Climat // Klimaatcoalitie is a Belgian nonprofit association (vzw) founded in 2008 and headquartered at Tweekerkenstraat 47 in Brussels. It functions as an umbrella advocacy coalition rather than a commercial entity, uniting over 100 member organizations — including NGOs, mutualities, trade unions, and citizen movements — across Belgium in a coordinated push for climate policy. Its core 'products' are advocacy campaigns and public mobilization events rather than goods or services: the flagship is the annual Klimaatmars (Climate March), which drew 30,000 participants in Brussels on October 5, 2025, with the next edition scheduled for October 11, 2026. Supplementary programs include the Stand Up For Climate youth initiative (operating from a separate site, standupforclimate.be), published policy position papers ('Onze Standpunten'), and ongoing press and media activity around Belgian and international climate policy (notably COP30 in Belém, Brazil, in November 2025).

The organization runs on a small secretariat of approximately 9 employees and is supported through member-organization dues and individual donations channeled via its 'Steun ons' (Support us) initiative; no commercial revenue, pricing model, or external investor funding is disclosed. Its go-to-market is non-commercial: it pursues grassroots organizing, political advocacy targeting Belgian policymakers (including the governing 'Arizona' coalition and the Brussels Region), earned-media press releases in Dutch, French, and English, and large public demonstrations. Its operating geography is Belgium-wide, with reach across the Dutch- and French-speaking linguistic communities. The organization maintains a multilingual website at klimaatcoalitie-coalitionclimat.be and an active news and events agenda.

There is no evidence of proprietary technology, software products, AI/ML capability, APIs, or commercial integrations; the organization's 'platform' is its coalition structure and its capacity to mobilize civil society at scale. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, consistent with a member-funded nonprofit advocacy body. Strategic activity in 2025–2026 indicates sustained operational tempo: ongoing advocacy against the Belgian federal government, engagement at international climate summits, internship hiring, and continued annual march programming.
