Pasteur Network

The Pasteur Network (PN) is an alliance of 32 member organizations that plays a crucial role in addressing global health challenges. Its strength lies in its diversity and broad geographic reach, covering 25 countries across 5 continents, forming a community united by shared values and missions for the benefit of populations. This unique combination fosters a dynamic ecosystem of scientific knowledge and expertise that is both locally embedded and globally connected.

Recognized as a WHO non‑state actor, the PN is closely connected to national health systems, with many members working directly with local Ministries of Health. It maintains a global infrastructure of more than 50 national and regional reference laboratories, including several Biosafety Level 3 facilities, as well as 1 WHO Collaborating Centres.

Focused on strengthening collaboration among local and regional actors, the PN fosters collective action, shared resources, and coordinated responses to emerging health and scientific challenges. It is a community driven by common values and missions, locally rooted and globally connected.

Pasteur Network officially joined the Climate Action Accelerator in January 2026.
Our common priority objectives for the partnership include:

• Supporting Pasteur Network members in transitioning toward low carbon and resilient operations.
• Sharing technical knowledge and experience to prepare for climate and environmental requirements in vaccine manufacturing.
• Interaction with and influence of actors in our ecosystem to better integrate climate and environmental commitments.
