IKEA Foundation’s Post

To let go of power is not for the weak.

This powerful quote from the founder of the IKEA deeply resonates with the values that guide us every day. It’s a reminder that the most meaningful victories are those where everyone wins. Whether it’s through creating lasting impact with sustainable initiatives or collaborating to find innovative solutions, the goal is not to stand alone at the top but to succeed together. It’s a true reflection that sustainable success is built on collaboration, solidarity, and shared vision. How do you apply this philosophy in your work or daily life?

Global crises including COVID-19, climate shocks, high prices, and fragility & conflict have pushed the world off-course to meet the first 2030 Sustainable Development Goalending #poverty in all its forms everywhere. Today, about 700 million people around the world subsist on less than $2.15 a day. Unless drastic action is taken, the outlook for reducing global poverty remains grim. On May 7, 2024, experts from academia, international organizations and civil society came together to bring new ideas on how to get back on track.

🌍 Climate change and poverty are deeply connected. 🔄 The impacts of climate change disproportionately affect the most vulnerable communities. Those living in poverty often lack the resources to recover from climate disasters, making it harder for them to escape the cycle of poverty. We must recognize that tackling climate change also means addressing social inequality. 🌱 By investing in sustainable solutions and supporting those hit hardest, we can protect both our planet and its people. A sustainable future is one where no one is left behind. 💪 #ClimateChange #Poverty #Sustainability #SocialImpact #ClimateAction #Equity

We face two pressing crises - poverty and climate change. These challenges are consequences of our past actions, daily choices, and future plans. While some are mere victims, many have contributed to these issues. To create a better world for people and a thriving planet, we must work together and commit to meaningful change. Let us resist the mindset of ownership and consumerism. As it is written: "A man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions" ~ Luke 12:15. #FaithBased #ActionNow #SustainableFuture

🌍 Addressing Climate Change: Key to Poverty Reduction 🌱 Climate change disproportionately affects vulnerable communities, particularly those with limited resources and capacity to adapt. This exacerbates poverty levels globally. As we strive for sustainable development, it's crucial to recognize that climate action is pivotal in poverty alleviation efforts. Let's unite to address this acute threat and pave the way for a more equitable and resilient future. #ClimateAction #PovertyReduction #Sustainability

As we bid farewell to 2024 today, I wish and pray that 2025 brings immense happiness, well-being, and prosperity to all of humanity, especially those who are suffering, underserved, and marginalized. May life, flora, and fauna continue to thrive in this beautiful world. As we face the ongoing challenges of poverty, climate change, and violence, let us remain steadfast in our efforts for peace, disaster risk reduction, and social justice. Together, may our collective struggle yield meaningful results, leaving this place in a better state for our children and every living being.

In 2015, world leaders gathered together to initiate the 17 UN Global Goals. The goals have the power to eradicate poverty, reduce inequality and address the urgency of climate change. I believe that if we work together, as accountants, as business owners, as global citizens, we can achieve these goals and make history.
