Miss Planet International 2023, a pageant set to take place in Cambodia, is now in full swing. The contestants have been engaged in a variety of activities across the cities of Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, the second largest city in Cambodia.

From school visits in the cities to exploring the ancient ruins of Angkor, the contestants have been thoroughly enjoying their time. The Miss Planet International pageant is focused on sustainability. Throughout their tour, the contestants have delivered numerous speeches about the climate’s impact on the world and strategies for developing sustainable goals to drive global transformation.

Miss Planet International is dedicated to upholding the 17 Sustainable Development Goals endorsed by United Nations members as part of the 2030 Agenda.

Each candidate is tasked with devising a social project that aligns with supported SDGs, and they will also have the opportunity to propose the creation of a new Sustainable Development Goal, designated as #18.

This initiative aims to both uphold the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda accepted by United Nations members and enrich the UN agenda by introducing a proposed Goal number 18, contributed by the candidates themselves.

Dr. Shafaq Akhtar, Miss Pakistan Universal 2022, was crowned in Pakistan in January 2022, and since then, she has represented Pakistan in Miss Aura International 2022 and more recently in Miss Planet International 2023.
