The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens is a Quasi-International Organization based in Vienna, Austria. The Centre was established in January 2018 and is co-chaired by Ban Ki-moon (Secretary-General of the UN 2007 – 2016) and by Heinz Fischer (President of the Republic of Austria 2004 – 2016).
The Ban Ki-moon Centre empowers women and youth to live in a peaceful and prosperous world. We strive for a world based on universal respect for human rights, regardless of age, gender, identity, religion, and nationality, where sustainable development is achieved through global citizenship in shared responsibility, understanding and empathy.
Our projects and programs are grounded in four pillars of work: Advocacy, Education, Leadership and Peace and Security. We use our independence, network, and expertise to engage with leaders, governments, academia, civil society, and international organizations to promote global citizenship.
The Sustainable Development Goals (The SDGs, also referred to as #GlobalGoals) are the framework of the Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens.
Their implementation is necessary to empower women and youth to live in a world, in which all people can thrive as global citizens.
