“The IKEA Foundation is a strategic philanthropic organization dedicated to tackling poverty and climate change. Working alongside more than 140 partners, the Foundation focuses on improving family incomes and safeguarding the environment. It recognizes the deep-rooted inequalities driving poverty and climate change, striving to transform systems and build evidence for effective solutions.
The Foundation concentrates its efforts in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions, primarily in Africa and Asia, where the impacts of poverty and climate change are most severe. Additionally, it supports global climate action in high-emission regions, including the EU, India, Brazil, and Indonesia, where there is significant potential for progress.
The IKEA Foundation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable children by empowering their families to create sustainable livelihoods while addressing climate change. The Foundation is committed to helping families in poverty and those displaced from their homes build sustainable futures. It identifies great potential in regenerative agriculture, green enterprises, and the productive use of renewable energy. With a focus on bold climate action, the Foundation aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, while helping vulnerable communities adapt to the inevitable impacts of climate change. Reducing emissions is the most urgent step toward ensuring a sustainable future for all.”
