Representatives of the Association EPEKA, a social enterprise, will participate in the online seminar “SDGs Implementation: Are Cooperatives Fit for Purpose?”.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

The\u00a02025 High-Level Political Forum (HLPF)<\/a>\u00a0coincides with two key milestones: the second United Nations International Year of Cooperatives (IYC2025<\/a>) and the second World Social Summit (WSS) in November 2025.<\/p>\n

The IYC2025 theme is: “Cooperatives Build a Better World”, a vital opportunity to recognize and scale the contributions of cooperatives toward inclusive, sustainable development. The\u00a0VNR Lab<\/a>\u00a0is a key platform for countries to highlight cooperative engagement in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those under review at this year’s HLPF, which are:\u00a0SDG 3<\/strong>: Good Health and Well-being;\u00a0SDG 5<\/strong>: Gender Equality;\u00a0SDG 8:<\/strong>\u00a0Decent Work and Economic Growth;\u00a0SDG 14:<\/strong>\u00a0Life Below Water; and\u00a0SDG 17:<\/strong>\u00a0Partnerships for the Goals.<\/p>\n

ICA, in collaboration with\u00a0COPAC<\/a>\u00a0and in partnership with Mongolia, Japan, and other countries that have recognized cooperatives in the VNRs, will be exploring\u00a0how cooperatives, as enterprises built on democratic ownership, participation, and inclusion, are contributing to SDG implementation<\/strong>. COPAC and ICA have been working on a series of\u00a0IYC2025 SDG Briefs<\/a>, emphasizing the contributions of cooperatives to these priority goals under review.<\/p>\n

Drawing on regional case studies, government engagement, and multi-stakeholder partnerships, the VNR Lab will also identify\u00a0ways to integrate cooperatives more systematically into national SDG plans, VNR consultations, and WSS preparations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The meeting will be held in English and Spanish.<\/strong><\/p>\n
