The awards program is based on the same model as the Nobel Prize. A database of over 2000 leading institutions, academics, business leaders and international authorities will be invited to nominate potential prize winners. Nominations will then be reviewed by a selection committee composed of technical experts, who will pass along their top 20 recommendations to the jury. The Jury has the responsibility to select one winner and two finalists for this prestigious honour.
The Jury is chaired by Dr. R.K. Pachauri, Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which with former U.S. Vice President Al Gore won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for efforts to raise public awareness of the dangers of climate change.
