Réseau Action Climat

What Réseau Action Climat does

Réseau Action Climat (RAC), founded in 1996 and headquartered at 47 avenue Pasteur, Mundo M, Montreuil, France, is a non-profit federation (association loi 1901) that coordinates 27 national and 10 local environmental associations engaged in climate advocacy and ecological transition. RAC serves as the French national node of Climate Action Network International, a global network of approximately 1,900 member organizations. Its functional beneficiaries are the French and European public, policymakers, and workers in carbon-intensive sectors, whom it targets through policy research, public education, and stakeholder mobilization rather than commercial products.

RAC's core "products" are publications and advocacy outputs: the annual Observatoire Énergie-Climat report (published since 2017), the multi-volume Mobilités: Avançons ensemble! mobility report (2025-2026), the Superlist Environment Europe 2026 supermarket rating, the 2026 France Urgence climat book on regional climate impacts, joint research with the Société Française de Nutrition, and thematic brochures on energy, transport, food, waste, and housing. Distribution is entirely non-commercial: free downloads from the website, weekly email newsletters (Infos de Serre), social media channels (Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Bluesky), and direct engagement with French and EU policymakers.

The business model is that of a civil-society federation: operating revenue is generated from membership contributions of its 27 national and 10 local member associations, public donations, and likely public and private grants, with no disclosed pricing or commercial contracts. Revenue, headcount, and detailed financials are not publicly disclosed. RAC monetizes influence rather than transactions, leveraging its coalition scale (e.g., the 71-organization appeal of June 2026) and its CAN International affiliation to amplify French climate-policy positions in EU-level debates.
