‘A few years ago, we acted on the hypothesis that climate-smart business would be good for business. Today, we know the business case is delivering.’ In this interview, Jesper Brodin, CEO of IKEA and member of the #AllianceOfCEOClimateLeaders, explains why sustainable growth is a business reality. Now, he says, governments must help companies scale up what’s already working. Representing 130+ major companies with $4 trillion in combined revenues, the Alliance is urging policy-makers to act on climate change. Their message is clear: - Business is already cutting #emissions at scale. - Now we need policies that unlock green markets, speed the transition and build a #NaturePositive, low-emissions economy. The choices made today will define the pace of #climate action for decades to come. As the world looks to #COP30, momentum is building for collective action on climate change. The World Economic Forum and its partners are helping scale what already works - from innovative finance models to business-led solutions that deliver sustainable prosperity, for #PeoplePlanetProgress.

What does industry mean for a society? We seem to forget that the industry is the basis for a modern, prosperous and successful society. An industry that needs power at the lowest possible system cost and infrastructure to operate successfully. And the industry and the power must be fossil free or transformed to be fossil free to ensure that we meet climate targets and that we ensure a better planet for our future. The best example of what an industry means for a city and a country is the move of the whole city of Kiruna to enable a longterm operation of the mines in Kiruna by LKAB. This in combination with the program to make the iron mining and development fossil free is a perfect example on how we combine a strong industry base together with a transition to a Net Zero society. One of the “highlights” has started now with the move of the church in Kiruna from its original place to its new home in the new Kiruna. To move a 600 ton church in one piece together with a full city is a perfect example of Swedish engineering capabilities and commitment to industry and climate transition.
