International Day of Cooperatives
The Committee for the Promotion and Advancement of Cooperatives (COPAC) has announced the official theme for the 2025 International Day of Cooperatives (CoopsDay): “Cooperatives: Driving Inclusive and Sustainable Solutions for a Better World.”
On 5 July 2025, the cooperators around the world will celebrate CoopsDay, which is all the more special with this year being the International Year of Cooperatives (IYC2025).
This year’s theme highlights the cooperative movement’s critical role in responding to today’s global challenges. Cooperatives are the solution to building a more inclusive, sustainable, and better world. Rooted in shared ownership and democratic control, cooperatives deliver practical solutions that place people, planet, and purpose at the heart of development. CoopsDay 2025 is a moment to celebrate this impact and call for greater support to scale it up. Read more about the theme here.
