The “Silver Lining” themed edition kicked off with the Miss Earth 2024 Queens’ media conference, presented by Carousel Productions and Reign Project Management, with reigning Miss Earth 2024 Jessica Lane, Miss Earth-Water 2024 Bea Windorski, and Miss Earth-Air 2024 Hrafnhildur Haraldsdóttir. The event was hosted by Miss Philippines Earth 2025 Joy Barcoma. Miss Earth 2004 Priscilla Meirelles also graced the occasion.
Miss Earth 2025 launched its “Green Leaders in Action, From Awareness to Action” campaign, a project management and environmental capability training where delegates empower changemakers to go beyond the crown and create real-world impact.
The project is in partnership with PinnaclePro Learning, spearheading an intensive, transformative capability training on Project Management, Elevator Pitching, and Global and Regional Environmental Frameworks. The program aims to empower delegates to become effective advocates for environmental sustainability and to lead, pitch, and manage projects that create real environmental impact.
