Raoul Marc Boucke (born 1 November 1975) is a Surinamese-Dutch civil servant and politician, who has served as a member of the House of Representatives since 2021.
[2][3] After completing his study, Boucke took a job at the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment, working on international affairs.
[5] He was first employed for four years by the permanent representation of the Netherlands to the EU, focusing on the environment, and subsequently served as an advisor on carbon markets to the Directorate-General for Climate Action of the European Commission.
[16] Boucke was sworn in as member of parliament on 31 March and was his party's spokesperson for climate, energy, aviation, mining, and fortifying Groningen homes against gas-extraction-induced quakes.
He called on the cabinet to publish a list and to favor companies that could stay when granting subsidies related to sustainability as well as for financial aid during the 2021–2022 global energy crisis.
[20] In 2023, a motion by Boucke and Faissal Boulakjar (D66) was carried by the House to urge the government to require large car parks to be covered with solar panels.
While awaiting its passage, the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion suspended its month-long blockade of the A12 motorway in The Hague, organized in protest of those subsidies.
