The Council, which includes Prince William, Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan, Brazilian footballer Dani Alves, naturalist Sir David Attenborough, Alibaba founder Jack Ma, Colombian singer Shakira, and Chinese basketball superstar Yao Ming, has the task of choosing the final winners of The Earthshot Prize.
