Global Citizen Awards Program Book 2022

Welcome to the 11th Atlantic Council Global Citizen Awards.

After a two-year break from convening in New York due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we gather this evening on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly to celebrate individuals who best represent the notion of global citizenship, to underscore the Atlantic Council’s mission of “shaping the future together” with friends and allies, and to inspire others to contribute even more to our global community.

As we celebrate these individuals, we confront global challenges of a far-reaching nature for the geopolitical, economic, and social fabric of the world.

Chief among these global shocks is Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine, which has cost thousands of lives and produced millions of refugees, setting off at the same time crises of food security, energy security, and national sovereignty. As Putin’s war rages on, the United States and our community of allies have rallied around Ukraine in its fight for independence and freedom. Those efforts thus far have been insufficient to stop the war and ensure Ukraine’s survival.

In the United States, Europe, and elsewhere in the world we face rising inflation and slowing economic growth. This is set against the backdrop of contentious domestic political environments in many democracies ahead of US mid-term elections in November.

As we navigate these challenges at home and abroad, the Atlantic Council works to shape a better global future alongside our partners and allies through the papers we write, the ideas we generate, and the communities we convene across our 16 programs and centers.

Tonight, we celebrate five individuals who represent the brand of global citizenship we hope to inspire:

President of Finland Sauli Niinistö and Prime Minister of Sweden Magdalena Andersson, as both countries’ historic decision to join NATO following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine serves as a significant contribution to the alliance’s security and capabilities – and transatlantic unity.

PRESIDENT

President of Indonesia Joko Widodo, for his leadership during Indonesia’s G-20 Presidency, efforts to build bridges to end the devastating war in Ukraine, and wider advocacy for human rights, democracy, and a greater global health architecture.

Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, for his exceptional leadership of Google’s efforts in response to Russia’s continuing war in Ukraine, commitment to digital resilience, and ongoing support for refugees and displaced people throughout the world.

Academy Award-winning Actor, Founder and CEO of the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative, and UNESCO Special Envoy for Peace and Reconciliation Forest Whitaker, for his artistic achievements, dedication to social activism, and empowerment of the next generation of global leaders.

This evening’s program will also feature a special tribute to former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, who was tragically assassinated in July 2022. As many of you will recall, we were privileged to honor Prime Minister Abe in 2016 with our Atlantic Council Global Citizen Award, in celebration of his lifetime of public service and extraordinary global leadership.

We are deeply grateful to this evening’s Co-Chairs, the Atlantic Council’s Board of Directors, the International Advisory Board, and other generous friends and partners who have made tonight – and, indeed, all of our work – possible.

Finally, we would also like to offer our gratitude to Victor Chu, the founder of the Atlantic Council Global Citizen Awards, without whose vision tonight’s celebration would not exist.

Thank you for being with us this evening.

H.E. Sauli Niinistö

PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF FINLAND

Sauli Niinistö is the 12th President of the Republic of Finland. He was inaugurated on 1 March 2012 and re-elected for his second six-year term in January 2018.

Sauli Niinistö was born in Salo on 24 August 1948. He graduated from the University of Turku with a Master of Laws degree in 1974. He was subsequently employed as a rural police chief and, for more than ten years, as an assistant judge at the Turku Court of Appeal. He also practiced law as an attorney. Niinistö began his political career in 1977 when he was elected to the Town Council of Salo.

Niinistö was first elected to Parliament in 1987. His many posts while in Parliament included chairing the Constitutional Law Committee. In 1995, he was appointed Minister of Justice and Deputy Prime Minister. Reshuffled to the Ministry of Finance in 1996, he eventually became Finland’s longest-serving Minister of Finance to date.

Niinistö was Chairman of the National Coalition Party from 1994 to 2001 and Chairman of the European Democrat Union (EDU) from 1998 to 2002.

In 2003, Sauli Niinistö took up the post of Vice President of the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg. He has also been a Member and Chairman of the Board of Governors of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and a Member of the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC).

Sauli Niinistö returned to the Finnish Parliament in the 2007 election with the highest number of votes ever gained by a candidate. He was Speaker of Parliament from 2007 to 2011.

President Niinistö is married to Jenni Haukio and they have a son, Aaro, born in 2018. President Niinistö also has two adult sons from his previous marriage with Marja-Leena Niinistö, who died in a car crash in 1995.

President Niinistö is active in sports and was Chairman of the Finnish Football Association from 2009 to 2012. He has written two books.

H.E. Joko Widodo

Born in Surakarta, Central Java on 21 June 1961, H.E. Joko Widodo, or popularly known as Jokowi, received his entire education from the public schooling system. He graduated from Gadjah Mada University, Yogyakarta in 1985 with a bachelor’s degree in forestry, then he went to set up his own family business until 2005 when he successfully became the Mayor of his beloved birthplace.

In 2012, H.E. Joko Widodo was elected as Jakarta’s Governor. As Governor of the country’s capital city, with his signature activities of blusukan (impromptu visit) he remained very close to the people, always advancing reformist agendas aimed at cultivating good governance and improving the livelihoods of the people.

On 20 October 2014, H.E. Joko Widodo was sworn in as the 7th President of the Republic of Indonesia and serves as the leader of the world’s largest archipelagic state, largest Muslim population yet pluralist country, and 3rd largest democracy.

PRIME MINISTER OF SWEDEN

Magdalena Andersson, Sweden’s first elected female Head of Government, took office as Prime Minister of Sweden on November 30, 2021, following her appointment as party leader for the Social Democratic Party on November 4.

A former student of the Stockholm School of Economics and Harvard University, Ms Andersson has held numerous senior positions, including Director of Planning and Political Advisor at the Prime Minister’s Office, Deputy Director General of the Swedish Tax Agency, State Secretary at the Ministry of Finance (2004-2006) and Minister of Finance (2014-2021).

Ms. Andersson was elected Chair of the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), which is the policy advisory committee of the Board of Governors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Andersson was the first woman to hold the position - a position she resigned from in connection with her appointment as Prime Minister.

She has served as member of the European Union’s Economic and Financial Affairs Council, and as a member of the boards of governors of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), the European Investment Bank (EIB), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), the Nordic Investment Bank (NIB), and the World Bank Group. She was also a board member of the Policy Network, an international think tank based in London, from 2005 to 2009.

Born in Uppsala in 1967, Andersson is married to Richard Friberg, a professor in economics at the Stockholm School of Economics. They have two children.

They enjoy spending time in nature and often go hiking, kayaking or mountaineering.

She is fluent in English and speaks German and Spanish.

He joined Google in 2004 and helped lead the development of Google Toolbar and then Google Chrome, which grew to become the world’s most popular internet browser. In 2014 he was appointed to lead product and engineering for all of Google’s products and platforms - including popular products such as Search, Maps, Play, Android, Chrome, Gmail and Google Apps (now Google Workspace). Sundar became Google’s CEO in August 2015. He joined the Board of Directors of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, in July 2017.

Under his leadership as CEO, Google has been focused on developing products and services, powered by the latest advances in AI, that offer help in moments big and small. It has invested in new opportunities such as Google Cloud and YouTube and has continued to be a leader in advanced technologies, including machine learning and quantum computing.

In December 2019, in addition to his role as CEO of Google, Sundar became the CEO of Google’s parent company, Alphabet.

Forest Whitaker

ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR; FOUNDER AND CEO, WHITAKER PEACE & DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVE; SPECIAL ENVOY FOR PEACE AND RECONCILIATION, UNESCO

Forest Whitaker is the founder and CEO of the Whitaker Peace & Development Initiative (WPDI), through which he provides skills and opportunities to youths and women in regions affected by violence and armed conflict in Mexico, South Africa, South Sudan, Uganda, the United States as well as Cameroon, Chad and Gabon.

Forest Whitaker is also co-founder and chair of the International Institute for Peace, UNESCO Special Envoy for Peace and Reconciliation, and a member of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Advocacy Group. Renowned for his dedication to cultivating children’s and youths’ artistic talents he had been a member of President Obama’s Committee on the Arts and the Humanities, working closely with elementary schools to demonstrate the limitless power of the arts to unlock the creative potential of pupils and students.

In addition to his social activism, Whitaker is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished and versatile figures. Through his production company, Significant Productions, he aims to support young, talented filmmakers. He believes that film can enlighten people across the globe and can start meaningful dialogues about important subjects. He has produced several award-winning documentaries that touch on a wide range of social issues. He has also received many distinctions for his acting, including the 2007 Academy Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland, a performance for which he also received a BAFTA Award, SAG Award, and Golden Globe. He also received the Palme d’Or for Best Actor for Bird at the 1988 Cannes Film Festival, among other artistic and humanitarian accolades.

Forest Whitaker’s commitment to peace and social justice has led him to work ever more closely with the United Nations and its diverse agencies. He has addressed such bodies as the Security Council, in 2014 and 2021, and the Human Rights Council, in 2019. His dual career as an artist and activist led him to closely associate with UNESCO, the UN branch for education, science and culture, through which he strives, as UNESCO Special Envoy for Peace and Reconciliation, to champion values of tolerance, openness and mutual understanding.

SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO H.E. Shinzo Abe FORMER PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN

On July 8, 2022, the world lost former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to an assassin’s bullet—shocking Japan and the global community, both of which Abe had reshaped in enduring ways. A 2016 recipient of the Atlantic Council’s Global Citizen Award, Abe transformed Japan’s role in the world, as is evident today everywhere from Tokyo’s global security cooperation to its aid to Ukraine.

Introducing Abe at the 2016 Global Citizen Awards (GCA) dinner, World Economic Forum Chairman Klaus Schwab described the then-prime minister as breaking the mold in “a world where political leaders are more and more guided by a radar system, sending out signals, and some constantly changing course depending upon the response received.” Instead of radar, Schwab said, Abe followed “an inner compass, providing directions based on strong values and a clear mission.”

Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, gave a sense of hope, purpose, and possibility to the people of Japan, following his inner compass to nudge his nation toward a stronger international presence in trade, diplomacy, and security.

He reformed military decision-making and enhanced the part the prime minister played in it, while reinterpreting Japan’s pacifist constitution to allow the country to potentially come to the aid of an ally under attack. Abe also helped launch the Quad, a security grouping with the United States, Australia, and India. He was a voice for the whole region—his 2016 GCA speech encouraged the Atlantic Council to undertake its own pivot to the IndoPacific—and a champion of openness and democracy.

This is a tragedy for Japan and for all who knew him. His vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific will endure. Above all, he cared deeply about the Japanese people and dedicated his life to their service.

The Hon. Joseph R. Biden, Jr. President of the United States of America

We are proud to support the Atlantic Council’s Global Citizen Awards and honor this year’s recipients H.E. Magdalena Andersson, H.E. Sauli Niinistö, H.E. Joko Widodo, Sundar Pichai, and Forest Whitaker.

BE A WELCOMER

Join the national effort to welcome Afghan and Ukrainian newcomers as they build new lives in the United States.

No act of welcome is too small. You can be a Welcomer by simply donating to the Welcome Fund to support community organizations, donating essential goods or airline miles, or most urgently…sponsoring a family. What act of welcome will you do today?

VISIT WWW.WELCOME.US TO SIGN UP AND LEARN MORE.

Welcome.US is a new national initiative built to unleash the desire and capacity of people across America to welcome more newcomers and help them thrive. We began with our new Afghan neighbors and have expanded to those displaced by the war in Ukraine, while also building a durable capacity and ability to welcome other newcomers. We operate on the evidence that direct participation with newcomers transforms both the Welcomer and those being welcomed. Our ultimate ambition is for every American community – and the nation as a whole – to have the resources and willingness to welcome newcomers, now and in the future.

YOU CAN BE THE BRIDGE TO SAFETY FOR A UKRAINIAN FAMILY FLEEING WAR

People forced to flee their homes in Ukraine are seeking refuge in the U.S., and Americans are asking how they can help –Welcome Connect was built to bridge this gap.

Welcome Connect empowers Americans – like you – to be Welcomers. This first-of-its-kind platform connects Americans with Ukrainains seeking refuge in the United States – to start a conversation, mutually agree on sponsorship, and access Welcome.US resources as they navigate the application process.

Sponsorship changes lives, including yours. It provides a pathway to safety and security to displaced Ukrainians, but it also offers you a transformative way to channel your capacity to help into being a guide, a friend, and a Welcomer.

Now more than ever, we need to show the world what our nation of Welcomers can do.

Ukraine has shown unparalleled courage, sacrifice, and tenacity in the defense of its sovereignty and identity, and European security and values.

We invite you to join these efforts by attending and supporting a Benefit Concert for Ukraine at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Concert Hall in Washington DC on October 18, featuring celebrated superstar violinist, Grammy Award-winner Joshua Bell, and Ukraine’s globally acclaimed New Era Orchestra.

Sponsorship monies raised will benefit United24, an initiative launched by President Zelensky (and audited by Deloitte) as the primary charitable vehicle to support victims of Russia’s aggression.

To learn more about the ways you or your organization can support this urgent effort to deliver direct assistance where it's needed most to the people of Ukraine, please contact: Alexa@ChopivskyFF.org

Please visit Kennedy-Center.org for ticketing information

This performance is an external rental presented in coordination with the Kennedy Center Campus Rentals Office and is not produced by the Kennedy Center.
