The observance aims to raise awareness of the contribution of cooperatives to sustainable development and strengthen collaboration between the United Nations and the international cooperative movement. This year’s theme underscores how cooperatives contribute to building peaceful societies by fostering democratic participation, economic inclusion, and community resilience. Rooted in shared ownership and people-centred values, cooperatives enable individuals from all sectors of society to participate in economic and social life, helping to reduce inequalities and strengthen social cohesion. The theme also resonates strongly with the long-standing principle that lasting peace must be grounded in social justice. Cooperatives, as inclusive and democratic institutions, continue to play a key role in promoting equitable development and supporting communities in addressing global challenges.
