The UN Secretary-General’s 2025 report on Cooperatives in Social Development is out — and it’s clear: cooperatives are strategic assets for sustainable growth and the SDGs. The report highlights how coops are already tackling urgent challenges, from poverty eradication and decent work to rebuilding trust and social cohesion, while warning that only 20% of measurable SDG targets are on track. ICA President Ariel Guarco welcomed the report, noting the upcoming launch of the CM50 Manifesto, the ICA 2026–2030 Strategy, and the World Cooperative Monitor 2025 at the World Social Summit in Doha, Qatar this November.
