Cannes 2019: Two nods for Canada in Sustainable Development

Rethink’s nomination in the category was for “The Climate Change Effect,” which drew attention to IKEA’s environmental initiatives and the urgency of action on climate change by turning the temperature in one of its stores up by four degrees (the amount global temperatures are expected to rise by 2025 if no action is taken).

The Sustainable Development Goals Lions will be awarded at Friday’s gala.
