👆Here’s what it’s like to learn about climate solutions firsthand.
Last month, 37 IKEA Foundation ambassadors from 10 countries came together in Indonesia to meet leaders working on the country’s net zero transition and learn straight from the organisations making it happen.
🌏 We held black soldier fly larvae, heard stories about fishing boats now running quietly on electricity, asked key questions about switching to electric vehicles, and took an electric bus to a village where solar panels on the market roof are already saving money and cutting emissions.
One thing is clear: solutions are already out there. They’re led by local communities and ready to grow.
Thank you to our partner @viriyaenb for making these connections possible and introducing us to @iesr.id, @magifarm.id, @newenergynexus, and @wriindonesia. We appreciate your openness, generosity, and leadership.
đź’¬ To everyone who joined us in Indonesia, what moments stood out to you?

Meet Ima and Soma, co-founders of @MagiFarm.id in Indonesia.
After seeing just how much food was going to waste in Bali, they set out to find a better way — one that works with nature, not against it 🪰 Now, their idea is turning food waste into value for businesses, households, and communities across Indonesia.

🍄 “What we do matters.” That’s the lasting message from Daughters of the Forest.
The film follows Eliseete and Julieta, scientists from Indigenous communities, and the women around them, revealing how science weaves together with ancestral wisdom, and inviting us to see nature as a web of connection, mutual respect and care.
It reminds us that climate solutions often grow from local knowledge and lived experience. Recognising and valuing these insights is key to a sustainable, resilient future. By sharing stories like this, we can help shift perspectives and inspire climate action.
Through our partnership with @thedocsociety’s Climate Story Fund, the IKEA Foundation supports storytelling that brings forward underrepresented perspectives and engages wider audiences in climate action.

Today, we celebrate our founder, Ingvar Kamprad, on what would have been his 100th birthday.
Ingvar’s influence goes far beyond what he built. He inspired curiosity, humility, and a constant drive to improve, always rooted in everyday life.
That thinking continues to guide our work at the IKEA Foundation. Together with our partners, we are working to fight global warming with and for the many people, so everyday life can be better, now and in the future.
As Ingvar said, “Most things still remain to be done. A glorious future!”
There is still much to do. We move forward together.
Happy birthday, Ingvar. đź’™
