Co-ops Address Inequality and Climate Change

NCBA Clusa Image_edited.jpg

In a March article by Doug O’Brien, President and CEO of the National Cooperative Business Association CLUSA International, Mr. O’Brien makes a case for cooperatives in several sectors as a solution to inclusive, resilient infrastructure policy.

“As people look to address today’s generational challenges of inequality, racial inequity and climate change, it is time to once again focus on how cooperatives are a preferred strategy. This is because cooperatives are owned and controlled by, and benefit the people who use these businesses. In other words, community members who are rooted in their local economy are in the driver’s seat—not outside investors and anonymous corporate executives. Because of this structure, cooperatives are more likely to deliver outcomes that reflect the values and needs of their communities—whether they suffer from historical discrimination, face heightened risk from climate change, or confront generations of disinvestment.”
