The Closing Ceremony of IYC2025 took place on 4 November from 11.30 to 12.45 at the Qatar National Convention Centre, Doha, alongside the Second World Summit for Social Development (WSSD2). 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.

Visitors to the Summit were also invited to explore the IYC exhibition booth (#28.S, Exhibition Hall 6), presented by COPAC, which highlights how cooperatives contribute to the SDGs and drive inclusive and sustainable development worldwide.
