He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people and for his vision of a world without nuclear weapons. He said, "Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
