The Nobel Peace will be awarded on October 8, 2021, and the Nobel Committee has plenty of candidates to consider. There are 329 total candidates (234 individuals; 95 organizations), the third-most ever but only slightly more than last year.
Just like with political odds, you can’t bet on Nobel Peace Prize odds in the United States. But you can in Europe, and British bookmaker Ladbrokes has posted opening odds.

Who Is Favored To Win Nobel Prize 2021?
WHO (Including COVAX & GAVI)
This global project, spearheaded by the World Health Organization and the Gavi “vaccine alliance” aims to "ensure rapid and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines for all countries, regardless of income level" through manufacturing and supply assistance. The initiative says it is on track to deliver at least two billion doses by the end of 2021, including more than half (1.3 billion) to 92 lower-income economies.
Russian Dissident Alexei Navalny
Navalny has emerged as the leading opposition figure to Russian Vladimir Putin and was nearly killed in an attack involving a military-grade nerve agent last August. He returned to Russia after receiving treatment in Germany and was promptly arrested. Massive rallies and protests have sprung up around the nation with others jumping into his movement and protesting his arrest. He is seen as perhaps the greatest threat to date to Putin’s stranglehold on Russia.
Climate Activist Greta Thunberg
The 18-year-old Swedish environmentalist has been on the international stage for several years and was among the favorites to win the 2020 award but did not. Her forthright calls to world leaders and the masses to do more to tackle the threat climate change poses has won her a massive following.
