During the final question-and-answer, she was asked whether she agreed with Bill Gates' view that resources should be redirected from fighting climate change to addressing disease, Ívarsdóttir answered:

I believe that we should take every problem in the world into consideration, and I think we should take care of our people as we care for the Earth. Because if we don't have empathy and don't take care of our people, our family, our nation, and the whole Earth, we can't take care of our Earth. Thank you so much. She was crowned Miss Earth Air, making her the second Icelander to achieve that title and a back-to-back Miss Earth Air victory for Iceland.
