From time to time, the Skoll Foundation presents a special award to someone who would rightly be described as a global treasure. We don’t have formal criteria for this award. We just know when there’s someone in our midst who is doing extraordinary things to address the world’s most pressing problems.
The Skoll Global Treasure Award is presented at the annual Skoll World Forum in Oxford, England. Past recipients of the award have included:
The Elders (2020)
In July 2007, Nelson Mandela took to a stage in Johannesburg on his 89th birthday to introduce the world to a new alliance of senior statespeople dedicated to solving thorny global problems—an extraordinary effort of cross-border collective strength. The Elders demonstrate that global challenges require global solutions that emerge from ethical leadership and multilateral cooperation. “We profoundly believe in the power of working together because, in the words of our founder Nelson Mandela, “we are human only through the humanity of others,” said Mary Robinson, first woman President of Ireland and former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The welfare of humanity depends on our capacity to summon a mighty collective strength, and the Elders have shown us the way forward.
