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).
