Đỗ Thị Lan Anh, 26, of Hanoi, Vietnam almost won Miss Earth 2023. She is a model who studied business at California State University, Fullerton in Fullerton, California, United States.
Born in Hanoi, Anh was only 1 year old when she and her family moved to Europe. They later settled in the U.S.
On October 14, 2023, Anh competed against 45 other Miss Earth Vietnam 2023 candidates at White Palace Võ Văn Kiệt in An Lạc, Bình Tân, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. She won the title.
Hosted by James Deakin and Huỳnh Thị Thuỳ Dung, the Miss Earth 2023 coronation night was held at Vạn Phúc City in Hiệp Bình Phước, Thủ Đức, Ho Chi Minh City on December 22, 2023. Including Anh, a total of 85 women competed for the title.
The Top 4 candidates were given the same question. Deakin asked, “An official at a recent climate conference was quoted as saying there is no science behind coals for the phaseout of fossil fuels. Do you agree with this? Why or why not?”
“I believe that in order to have a more sustainable future, we must experiment with nature as well as humanity,” Anh answered. “And I believe that with anything that comes into our lives, we can achieve it through science or through our own humane society as one whole community of our planet Earth.”
It was Drita Ziri, 23, of Albania who won the Miss Earth 2023 crown while Yllana Aduana, 25, of the Philippines finished second and was crowned Miss Earth-Air 2023. Finishing third, Anh was crowned Miss Earth-Water 2023.
