This year’s Nobel Peace Prize laureate is to be revealed at 11:00 CEST on Friday.
Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg is the favourite to win according to pollsters.
Also among the most-talked-about contenders to win Nobel’s biggest prize are New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for her response to a deadly terror attack at a Christchurch mosque, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed for his role in bringing an end to his country’s conflict with neighbouring Eritrea, and Native Brazilian leader and environmentalist Raoni Metuktire for his work to protect the Amazon.
Earlier this week, the winners for Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Literature were announced.
