"Confronting Climate Change": How Cooperatives Contribute to Meeting Today's Challenges

This slide presentation shows how cooperatives can contribute to meeting global challenges. Ranging from small-scale to multi-million dollar businesses, cooperatives today employ some 100 million women and men in both industrialized and developing countries, and have more than 800 million individual members across the globe. ‘Concern for Community’ is one of the Cooperative Principles which guides the work of cooperatives around the world. Celebrated annually on the first Saturday of July, the 14th UN International Day of Cooperatives focuses this year on the significant contribution that cooperatives can make to mitigating climate change.
