In 1980 leefde ongeveer 40% van de wereldbevolking in extreme armoede, met minder dan $ 2 per dag. Wat is dit percentage nu?

This year reminded us that progress on climate action isn’t a straight line and that the way we move forward matters. 🌍 As climate extremes intensified and uncertainty grew, we saw the importance of working together — with trust, openness and shared purpose. For the IKEA Foundation, being on the way in 2025 has meant moving forward together: 🤝 With our partners, who are doing the work — working alongside communities, testing new approaches, learning what works and pushing for change where it’s needed most. Their leadership, commitment and courage are what turn ambition into action. 👥 With our team, learning, adapting and shaping a new strategic direction — focused on enabling impact, strengthening partnerships and keeping people at the heart of climate action. 🌱 With our ambassadors and changemakers, who share trusted knowledge, challenge misinformation and help people make sense of complexity with clarity and hope. As we look ahead — deepening partnerships and scaling impact — we carry our founder’s reminder with us: happiness, and real change, are found in the journey. #IKEAfoundation

🌍 Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time — but doom and gloom won’t move us forward. Focusing on what can be done will. After a challenging year for climate action, @Jessica.Anderen, CEO of the IKEA Foundation, sat down with Johan Rockström, Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (@PIK_klima ), to reflect on the choices ahead, the solutions already at hand, and the urgency of scaling what works. Yes, the challenge is immense. But the solutions exist. They are delivering impact — and they are ready to scale, now. 👉 Watch the full conversation across our social channels and on Jessica’s platforms. #IKEAFoundation #ClimateAction
