Cooperatives: sustainable solutions for a better world
On 5 July 2025, communities worldwide are celebrating the International Day of Cooperatives (CoopsDay) under the inspiring theme: “Cooperatives: Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Solutions for a Better World.” From health and housing to agriculture, finance, and clean energy, co-ops are delivering real-world solutions that are inclusive, democratic, and sustainable. This year’s celebration is especially meaningful, taking place during the United Nations International Year of Cooperatives (IYC2025), a rare chance to spotlight the vital role of cooperatives in creating fairer, more resilient societies.
