The Earthshot Prize Council is a global team of high-profile leaders from a broad range of sectors. The Council is in charge of picking the 5 winners each year from the 15 finalists shortlisted by a team of experts. The judging sessions are led by Christiana Figueres, Chair of The Earthshot Prize.
No set term length has been announced for members of the Earthshot Prize Council. I expect they sign up to serve for a set number of prize cycles, and then possibly renewed. The Council has varied between 15-11 members.
The Council was launched in October 2020 with 13 Founding Members.
