How businesses and consumers are taking action to address climate change on Earth Day
Global partnership to seize the opportunities of the Paris climate agreement and bring clean energy and prosperity to all.
New York, April 22. Today, as world leaders meet in New York to sign the Paris Agreement, the IKEA Foundation, We Mean Business and Here Now announce a partnership to bring about much needed climate action.

We Mean Business intends to speed up the pace of change by bringing more major companies on-board and advocating for policy changes. It wants to encourage governments to exceed their commitments before the agreement comes into force in 2020.

Here Now creates innovative campaigns to inspire citizens around the world to support climate change solutions. With the IKEA Foundation’s support, it will spearhead a broad range of campaigns. These include a citizen-led campaign fighting carbon emissions and air pollution in India, a programme in the UK to help people switch to clean energy at home, and a rapid-response content production initiative to bring millions more people into the climate change conversation.

The IKEA Foundation’s EUR 12.6 million grant will help to support this work with EUR 9.6 million going to We Mean Business and EUR 3 million going to Here Now…
