Hosted by award-winning Brazilian broadcaster Luciano Huck, the Awards Night will also see a number of high-profile presenters, including one of the greatest full-backs in the history of Brazilian professional football, Cafu – the player with the most appearances for the Brazilian national team and captain of the 2002 FIFA World Cup winning team, and Brazilian gymnast Rebeca Andrade, the most decorated Brazilian and Latin American Olympian with six Olympic and nine World medals. They will be joined by Sebastian Vettel, the youngest ever Formula 1 World Champion and four-time title winner, known for his commitment to environmental causes, and Indigenous Brazilian environmental activist and member of the UN Secretary-General’s Youth Advisory Group on Climate Change, Txai Suruí, a leading voice for Brazil’s Indigenous communities and the environment.

The Earthshot Prize Global Ambassador explains why we must Protect and Restore Nature, Clean our Air, Revive our Oceans, Build a Waste-Free World, and Fix our Climate.
