International Day of Cooperatives 2024

The International Day of Cooperatives is an annual celebration aimed at raising awareness about the significance of cooperatives and their role in fostering a just and sustainable future. The 2024 theme, "Cooperatives Build a Better Future for All," aligns with the upcoming UN Summit of the Future, emphasizing multilateral solutions for global challenges. This event not only commemorates the historical and current contributions of cooperatives but also accelerates efforts towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) by 2030. The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) supports this initiative by providing resources such as logos and key messages to enhance the celebration. Furthermore, the event serves as a stepping stone towards the 2025 International Year of Cooperatives, which the UN has declared to further promote the cooperative model and its contributions to sustainable development. Participants are encouraged to share the agenda and demonstrate the power of cooperation in effecting positive change.
