Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary-General to the United Nations, is the Nelson Mandela Fellow at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. His priorities as Secretary-General have been to mobilize world leaders around a set of new global challenges, from climate change and economic upheaval to pandemics and increasing pressures involving food, energy and water. He has sought to be a bridge-builder, to give voice to the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people, and to strengthen the Organization itself.
