Miss South Pacific: Beauty And The Sea - Queens against climate change, voices for survival
In 2009–2010, the Miss South Pacific Pageant in Suva, Fiji, became more than a competition of beauty and grace. Contestants from across Pacific Island nations gathered to speak on a shared crisis: climate change.
Through speeches, performances, and public appeals, the queens raised urgent voices about the rising seas threatening to erase their homes from the map. Their passion reveals how a cultural celebration can evolve into a political and environmental statement, turning crowns and sashes into symbols of survival.
