The Closing Ceremony of IYC2025 will take place on 4 November from 11.30 to 12.45 at the Qatar National Convention Centre, Doha, alongside the World Social Summit: https://social.desa.un.org/world-summit-2025. Themed around the cooperative contribution to social justice, decent work, and sustainable development, the event will feature opening statements and keynote speeches by Heads of State and senior UN representatives, followed by the launch of the CM50 Manifesto and Commitment Plan by ICA President Ariel Guarco. A roundtable of cooperative leaders from key sectors—including agriculture, finance, housing, health, insurance, fisheries, consumer, and worker cooperatives—will showcase the movement’s global impact and innovation.
The ceremony will also include the launch of a special edition of the World Cooperative Monitor dedicated to IYC, and the presentation of the ICA’s 2026–2030 Global Strategy.
