Selection process
The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Champions are selected from over global 1,500 nominations. These are received from the public nomination process.
A team of UNEP staff and subject experts reviews and considers each nomination, creating a list of finalists. These are sent to a high level jury who select the laureates. In 2020, the jury consisted of five leaders of United Nations and other international organizations.
The criteria for selection are:
Impact - Have the nominee’s actions resulted in profound environmental gains or demonstrated significant potential for replication and scaling?
Novelty - Has the nominee done or achieved something new and innovative?
Power of the story - How compelling and inspiring is the nominee’s story?
