Miss Earth 2017 Karen Ibasco is set to represent the Philippines in the first Youth Climate Summit of the United Nations in New York City on September 21.
“I am proud to announce that I am now on board with Climate Change Commission. My journey continues in being a voice for Mother Nature,” Ibasco wrote in an Instagram photo.
The UN Youth Climate Summit is a platform for youth leaders between the ages of 18 and 29 who are driving climate action to showcase their solutions and engage with decision-makers on defining issues.
“Learning is one area I’m always open to. I understand that I will never get to master all knowledge the world can offer but I choose to grow deeper in the area of my expertise even if it’s just a small percentage of it all. That’s why I’m looking forward to represent the Philippines for the very first Youth Climate Summit of the United Nations in New York very soon,” she said.
“I’m excited to share with you all everything that I will gain from this summit,” she added.
The physicist beauty queen shared her advocacy is to conserve the energy. She also wanted to use her voice and knowledge in helping to save the planet Earth.
Karen Ibasco is the country’s fourth titleholder after Karla Henry in 2008, Jamie Herrell in 2014, and Angelia Ong in 2015.
