Building Community Power for Climate Justice

Whether you are the head of a global corporation or a non-profit, everyone has a role to play in driving action that benefits the planet. And as customers we have the power and responsibility to put our money with the businesses that are fighting for that action.

In the final episode of this bonus halftime series, Loyiso Madinga and Gail Gallie meet two leaders who are striving for sustainable outcomes in very different ways. Jesper Brodin is CEO of the Ingka Group, owners of IKEA. He has set his own goal for 2030: to reduce IKEA’s carbon footprint by 50%. Jesper tells us how he keeps climate concerns at the heart of his decision-making while running a very successful company, and why other businesses need to evolve too.

Gloria Walton is CEO and president of the Solutions Project, which amplifies and funds climate justice solutions created by frontline communities to take control of their own futures. She tells us why giving power to these communities is key to creating meaningful change in the second half.
