Bookmakers offering odds on the Nobel Peace Prize winner to be announced on Friday are convinced that the award will go to an environmentalist.

NordicBet has former US vice-president Al Gore as co-favorite at 4-1, tied with Polish Irena Sendler, nominated for saving roughly 2,500 Jewish children from death during the Second World War.

Finland's former president, now peace negotiator Martti Ahtisaari and Canadian Inuit and environmental activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier are among NordicBet's other favorites for the award.

Betsafe.com also believes the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize will be green, and tips United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change leader Rajendra Pachauri the 3.5-1 favorite.

Betsafe has Sheila Watt-Cloutier at 4.5-1, Martti Ahtisaari at 5.5-1 and Al Gore at 6.5-1.

The Nobel Committee has received 181 nominations for this year's Peace Prize, 46 of these are for organizations. The prize winner will be announced on Friday at 11 a.m. local time.
