Nomination, Review & Selection Process

Who can nominate?

Hundreds of thematic expert organisation ranging from international organisations, academica, non-governmental organisations, parliamentary networks and government agencies are invited to nominate outstanding policies which must mark a significant progress towards sustainable development and in the interest of current and future generations. They are screened by our research team, which employs the 7 Principles of Future-Just Lawmaking and conducts interviews with representatives from governments, sciences and non-governmental organizations.

7 Principles of Future-Just Lawmaking

The 7 Principles of Future-Just Lawmaking are applied to all nominated policies. They are derived from the seven principles for sustainable development law, presented at the 2002 Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development. An international jury composed of representatives from around the world select the winning policies.  Award ceremonies are held at UN Conferences.
