IKEA Foundation Donates $25M To Transform Cooling Sector and Improve Billions of Lives NORTHAMPTON, MA | ACCESSWIRE | September 27, 2022 | This week has been an eye-opener for the dramatic and devastating effects caused by the climate crisis with record temperatures, raging fires and the inevitable deaths among the more vulnerable. As the mercury soared right across Europe to more than 40 degrees for the first time ever in some countries, it was evidential that climate change is a stark reality and collectively, the world needs to take immediate action to produce sustainable and scalable solutions. IKEA''s charitable arm has given a $25million grant to the Clean Cooling Collaborative, which improves cooling solutions for the vulnerable global communities facing the risk of extreme heat. Demand has rocketed for cooling systems as the planet continues to warm and it has been estimated that 10 air conditioners will be sold every second for the next 30 years. The IKEA Foundation is supporting the Clean Cooling Collaborative, a leading global philanthropic program focused on curbing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by cooling.
