Dekade der Genossenschaften

Das von den Vereinten Nationen ausgerufene Jahr der Genossenschaften neigt sich dem Ende zu. Nun will der Internationale Genossenschaftsbund daraus eine Dekade der Genossenschaften entwickeln:

„Purpose of this document

The General Assembly of the International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) 2012 will mark the culmination of the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives. But subject to the approval of the General
Assembly, it will also mark the beginning of a world-wide campaign to take the co-operative way of doing business to a new level. The ambitious plan in this Blueprint – the „2020 Challenge“ – is for the
co-operative form of business by 2020 to become:
– The acknowledged leader in economic, social and environmental sustainability
– The model preferred by people
– The fastest growing form of enterprise

The 2020 Challenge seeks to build on the achievements of the International Year of Co-operatives, and for the Year of Co-operatives (2011 – 12) to be the start of a Co-operative Decade (2011 – 2020).

The International Year of Co-operatives has provided a powerful focal point for the movement. It has heightened its sense of shared purpose, illustrated by the range of activities and celebrations of the
International Year, as well as the take-up of the 2012 International Year logo. It has raised the profile of co-operatives beyond the limits of the movement itself, in civil society and amongst governmental
and inter-governmental bodies, including recognition in the Rio+20 Treaty.“
