The call for nominations represents the latest step in the trustees’ ongoing preparatory work toward the possible establishment of the new board in advance of the November 2021 United Nations COP26 climate conference. The chair and vice-chair would be full-time positions on a 14-member board. The geographic location of the new board, if it is formed, is yet to be determined by the trustees. The establishment of a potential new board and subsequent appointments are subject to the outcome of the consultation and the trustees’ assessment that the criteria for the new board have been met.

The closing date for nominations is June 30. The recruitment process will be guided by an executive search firm appointed by the trustees. The full role specifications and how to apply are available here.
