New partnership supports bold climate action in Indonesia

November 4, 2021

The IKEA Foundation and ClimateWorks Foundation are launching a new $12 million partnership to speed up climate action in Indonesia.

Indonesia is among the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. Its current policy ambitions are considered highly insufficient for alignment with the Paris Agreement. Indonesia is also a regional economic superpower and developments there impact the whole region. Progress in Southeast Asia is essential to reach the Paris Agreement targets.

There are positive signals that Indonesia is beginning to take serious steps to mitigate climate-related risks. It has advanced the timeframe for its net-zero target, planned how it will phase out its coal fleet and reduced its rate of deforestation for four years in a row. It has also rolled out a modest carbon tax and signaled that it is ready to be a leader on electric vehicles (EVs).

That’s why it is a critical time to support experts and climate leaders in Indonesia who are working hard to turn this ambition into sustained action. We believe that by helping to build a low carbon future there, we can also improve the health and livelihoods of people in the world’s largest Muslim democracy.

Supporting policy progress

Early strategic priorities were developed in collaboration with other climate funders supporting the transition to net-zero in Indonesia. Our new partnership with ClimateWorks will focus on supporting policy progress in the economic sectors that use the most energy: transportation, buildings, appliances and heavy industries.

These sectors currently do not receive philanthropic support in proportion to their potential to reduce emissions. They can also deliver tremendous benefits in terms of pollution reduction, improved health and comfort, climate resilience and economic competitiveness.

Our partnership will also engage the business and investment communities to show that ambitious climate action is the best way for Indonesia to attract investment and jobs, reduce risk and boost competitiveness.

Meaningful climate action

Despite ongoing challenges, climate leaders in Indonesia are optimistic. Positive shifts in finance, corporate risk perceptions and policymaker ambition are coming together to sustain meaningful climate action. At the same time, technologies to enable the transition to a zero-carbon economy are becoming more affordable.

The IKEA Foundation and ClimateWorks are excited to support an ecosystem of funders, businesses, financial institutions, policymakers and civil society organisations to work towards this transition.

To find out more about the partnership, read this blog by Colin Kelly, ClimateWorks Associate Director, and Edgar van de Brug, Programme Manager, IKEA Foundation.

  • Behind every climate solution are people making it happen. It was a privilege to visit @Cooperpac, based in the south of the city of São Paulo, and meet founder Valquíria Cândido da Silva, and the cooperative members whose work is helping give waste a second life. Thank you for welcoming our IKEA Foundation Ambassadors and sharing your inspiring story. Cooperpac is a powerful reminder that climate action can create opportunities for people while protecting the planet. This visit was made possible through our partner Global Methane Hub and its support for @InstitutoPólis, whose work helps strengthen community-led solutions like Cooperpac across Brazil.

  • 📢 We just helped launch The Shift at @ldnclimateweek — a campaign to make climate progress visible. Too often, the organisations driving climate solutions don’t have the same access to influential media as those with the greatest resources. 🌍 The Shift is our way of helping change that, supporting our partners to bring their evidence, stories and solutions to new audiences, and shift the climate conversation towards progress already happening. The campaign features an incredible group of partners working across some of the world’s most pressing climate challenges, including Climate Analytics, Global Methane Hub, InfluenceMap, NewClimate Institute, @fossilfueltreaty, UMI Fund and Youth Climate Justice Fund. Explore the stories, meet the organisations behind them, and share with your network. Together, we can help more people see the climate solutions already making a difference: 🔗 link in bio! #LCAW2026 #TheShift
  • 🪰 What if a tiny insect could help tackle food waste, support farmers, and reduce emissions? The black soldier fly is doing exactly that. ♻️ Across Kenya, partners like @_icipe are scaling insect-based innovations that transform organic waste into valuable resources such as animal feed and organic fertiliser — supporting healthier ecosystems, stronger livelihoods and more resilient food systems. 🍅 And in Indonesia, @magifarm.id, supported through partners like @viriyaenb, is using the same nature-based approach to rethink food waste management, turning waste into value for businesses and households. This is what people-centred climate action looks like in practice: solutions that work for people, planet and business. 💬 Had you heard of black soldier flies before? What other unexpected climate solutions have caught your attention? Let us know in the comments.
  • This is cool — literally! 🧊 Denis Karema, CEO of @sokofreshkenya and a strong advocate for expanding access to solar-powered cooling in Kenya, showed us how these solutions make a real difference in farmers’ everyday lives. By keeping food cold, less goes to waste — a key climate solution as temperatures continue to rise across many regions. We had the opportunity to document how SokoFresh’s cold rooms are used in Kenya as part of our upcoming IKEA Foundation Week campaign, which will focus on food systems. This work is supported by the IKEA Foundation and our partner @claspappliances, who are helping bring renewable energy to smallholder farmers in East Africa and India. SokoFresh is also supported by our partners #PREO and @enviu, as part of a strong nexus solution across renewable energy and agriculture work. A huge thank you to Denis for sharing his inspiring work, and to our fantastic production team in Nairobi for bringing this story to life. 📅 More to come during #IKEAFoundationWeek, Autumn 2026. #ikeafoundation
