The awards show is designed to honour people who are tackling environmental issues.
Each winner is given £1million to continue their work to battle climate change.
Last year, the Princess of Wales presented an award, while looking gorgeous in green.
The Sabrina frock, by Solace London, cost £74 to rent, which was seen as a very sustainable move by the princess.
