United Nations International Day of Cooperatives

Celebrated every year on the first Saturday of July, Coops Day raises awareness of how cooperatives advance sustainable development.
On 4 July 2026, cooperative members and leaders worldwide celebrated under the theme: Cooperatives for a peaceful world.

Back in 2025, several events took place across the globe, including a hybrid gathering at United Nations Headquarters in New York. These celebrations formed part of the International Year of Cooperatives 2025 (IYC2025).

Join the Celebration

Communities around the world are encouraged to take part in #CoopsDay by organizing events, sharing stories, and promoting this year’s theme.
