HEJ! 👋 We’re the Regional Durable Solutions Secretariat. Take a look at our #IKEAFoundationHighlights2023 below. In 2022, the world saw the biggest-ever jump in the number of forcibly displaced people. It’s due to this global issue that our work is focused on translating evidence into action to find durable solutions for displacement-affected communities across East Africa, the Horn of Africa, and the Great Lakes region of Africa 🌍 We had the opportunity to facilitate a panel at the IKEA Foundation’s Refugee Livelihoods Partners Convening to discuss the latest evidence on effective livelihoods programming in displacement settings 🧑🤝🧑 Through this, we identified a need for greater interaction between researchers and practitioners. One of our priorities is to give more of a platform to local research institutions in regions with displaced populations, as they’re better placed not only to support local policymakers but to also hold them accountable.

Sea level rise is an existential threat to Island States, and a warning we can’t ignore. At the IKEA Foundation, we actively promote efforts to limit #GlobalWarming, which is a key driver of #SeaLevelRise 🌊 We’re proud that our partner, Climate Analytics, provides expert support to the United Nations Secretary-General’s Climate Action Team to enhance evidence availability and awareness of the challenges posed by a warming planet 🌍 “The more we delay phasing out fossil fuels, the more sea level rise we’re locking ourselves into, and the earlier damages will occur. Taking action to limit warming to 1.5°C will slow sea level rise significantly,” says report reviewer and Climate Analytics CEO, Bill Hare.

“We all have a common view that people need a healthy and sustainable way of living. It’s all about putting people at the heart of everything that we do,” says our CEO, Jessica Anderen. Earlier this year, Jessica engaged with forcibly displaced people and other community members in Nairobi that are supported under the International Rescue Committee’s (IRC) Re:BUiLD programme 🌍 The Re:BUiLD programme provides business support to refugees and vulnerable Kenyans to start or grow micro-enterprises and build sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their families.

Millions of people globally are in need of humanitarian aid - but many of these crises are not widely reported on. On World Humanitarian Day, we’re recognising our partners who respond to emergencies around the world, including those that may have been largely overlooked. 🌍 Since 2018, we have granted over €49 million to Start Network and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) to respond quickly where the needs are greatest.

HEJ! We’re the International Rescue Committee 👋 Here’s our 2023 highlights from working with the IKEA Foundation. We were proud to co-organise the Refugee Livelihoods Partners Convening in 2023, bringing together all IKEA Foundation partners working to enable refugee self-reliance 🌍 Through initiatives like this, we aim to give people affected by displacement a voice at the table when we design, implement and evaluate interventions aimed at serving their communities 🧑🤝🧑 In addition to this, the IRC’s Re:BUiLD programme (supported by the IKEA Foundation) generates evidence on what works best to achieve sustainable livelihoods for urban refugees and vulnerable community members.

Buildings account for around 40% of energy consumption and 36% of carbon emissions in Europe. This includes both the operational carbon of buildings from when they are in use and the carbon impact of the manufacturing, transportation, construction, and end-of-life phases of built assets, often called embodied carbon. Our partner World Green Building Council has launched two factsheets to support national governments, EU policymakers, and the construction industry in driving renovation through the implementation of Minimum Energy Performance Standards and addressing the operational and embodied carbon impact of buildings through life-cycle Global Warming Potential measures, as set out in the newly revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). With these kinds of hands-on methodologies containing simple checklists, World Green Building Council and its network of GBCs is contributing effectively to the transformation towards an energy-efficient and decarbonised EU building stock by 2050 🌍 Read the full factsheets here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dgkjFkTi

HEJ! We Mean Business Coalition here 👋 Check out our 2023 highlights… Last year we launched Fossil to Clean: a science-based, multi-year global campaign to mobilise businesses and governments in line with the decisive action needed to transition from fossil fuels to clean solutions. More than 200 companies signed a robust advocacy letter that was delivered to governments and other policymakers at #COP28, helping to achieve the first-ever global agreement to transition away from all fossil fuels 🌳 Read more on how we’re working to inspire greater climate leadership from businesses and governments around the world 👇 https://lnkd.in/dFG8vzEQ #AnnualReviewSeries #PeopleAndPlanet #IKEAFoundationHighlights2023

HEJ - Clean Cooling Collaborative here! 👋 We’re sharing our 2023 highlight from working with the IKEA Foundation: Global temperatures are rising - along with the demand for cooling. By 2050, 3 billion more room air conditioning units are expected to be installed globally ❄️ Here at Clean Cooling Collaborative, a ClimateWorks Foundation initiative, we’re working to transform the cooling sector by reducing its emissions and making efficient, climate-friendly cooling accessible to all. In 2023, we took significant steps towards developing room air conditioning units with up to five times lower climate impact compared to current models. Our estimates show that a shift from conventional air conditioners to these super-efficient models will prevent 68 gigatons of CO2 emissions by 2050 (the equivalent of just over a year’s worth of human-made greenhouse gas emissions today) 💡 Learn more about how we’re scaling energy-efficient cooling solutions 👇 https://lnkd.in/dFG8vzEQ #PeopleAndPlanet #IKEAFoundationHighlights2023 #EnergyTransformation
