Ida Margrete Meier Auken (born 22 April 1978) is a Danish politician and member of the Folketing for the Social Democrats political party. She has been a member of parliament since 2007. She was Minister for the Environment of Denmark from 2011 to 2014. Until 2014 she was a member of the Socialist People's Party, after which she moved to the Danish Social Liberal Party. In 2021, she switched to the Social Democrats.
Internationally, Auken is best known for her 2016 article on the World Economic Forum (WEF), originally titled "Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better", summarized as "You'll own nothing and be happy", a phrase that has been used by critics who accuse the WEF of desiring restrictions on ownership of private property.
