Tagline: Be a Global Citizen. Act with passion and compassion.

The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens (BKMC) is a Quasi-International Organization located in Vienna, Austria, established in January 2018. The Centre is co-chaired by Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary-General of the UN, and by Heinz Fischer 11th President of the Republic of Austria.

The BKMC's vision is that humanity is guided by global citizen leaders who care for people, planet and prosperity. Their mission is to foster leadership for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Climate Agreement by inspiring current decision-makers and empowering the next generation of changemakers.

Guided by the Co-chairs' leadership roles, the BKMC advocates for governmental policymaking on global issues such as sustainable development, climate action, gender justice, and transformative education while offering direct opportunities to young changemakers to amplify their voices and equip them with SDG knowledge, 21st century skills and global citizenship values.

The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens and its Co-chairs take part in multiple opportunities to engage with global citizens all around the world. These include speaking engagements, hosting events, conducting workshops and trainings, creating digital campaigns and competitions as well as carving out new partnerships.

The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens is guided and supported by an international community of public and private sector representatives and institutions. The Centre boasts a wide range of financial contributors as well as knowledge and institutional partners.

The Ban Ki-moon Centre for Global Citizens' CEO is Monika Froehler.
