We strive for a healthy planet where nature and all people can thrive together. A planet with resilient, species-rich ecosystems; a safe and stable climate; an environment that is free of toxins, with clean air, soil, and water – all underpinned by strong environmental justice and rule of law.

Headquartered in London, and with offices in Beijing, Berlin, Brussels, Tokyo, Los Angeles, Luxembourg, Madrid, and Warsaw, our approach is increasingly global. Founded in 2007, ClientEarth now employs nearly 300 people in nine offices, working in over 60 countries.

Our Board of Trustees is responsible for agreeing ClientEarth’s overall programmatic and financial strategy; approving the annual budget; and ensuring sound governance, administration, and financial management.

As some of our Trustees reach the end of their tenure in 2024 and early 2025, and as we look to the challenges and opportunities ahead, we want to recruit an additional two or three new Trustees to help strengthen ClientEarth’s impact.

An understanding of and commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion. Leadership experience, whether in the NGO sector, finance, business, strategic communications, tech, law, or other relevant sectors.

Highly desirable:

An ability to serve on and potentially Chair our People & Culture Committee. Significant and/or relevant experience working in the EU, Asia, or South America

See our Information pack (below) for further details on this position.

Trustee Time Commitment

Each Trustee is expected to be able to dedicate sufficient time to the role. We estimate that Trustees commit on average 8-10 days a year, not including travel.

Terms and Compensation

The Trustees serve a three-year term, and will be eligible for re-appointment for one additional term. 

Trustee roles are not accompanied by any financial remuneration, although Board-related travel expenses may be claimed.
