Earth Hour

This year, the world's largest environmental movement Earth Hour takes place at a very challenging time. We condemn the extreme violence and destruction against civilians in Ukraine and express our solidarity and strong support for the Ukrainian people. The catastrophic humanitarian crisis caused by the tragic war is deepening rapidly and an environmental crisis looms larger with every day that the conflict continues. Only in a peaceful environment and with joint efforts it is possible to create a just and sustainable future where people live in harmony with each other and nature.
 
In these difficult times, Earth Hour offers a moment for solidarity, and the opportunity to come together, look after each other and the one home we all share. Participate in the largest grassroots movement for the environment, Earth Hour on 26 March, 20:30 local time.
 

Switch off your lights on the night and post your pictures using the hashtag #EarthHour.

 

Started by WWF and partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour is now one of the world's largest grassroots movements for the environment. Held every year on the last Saturday of March, Earth Hour engages millions of people in more than 190 countries and territories, switching off their lights to show support for our planet. 
 
But Earth Hour goes far beyond the symbolic action of switching off - it has become a catalyst for positive environmental impact, driving major legislative changes by harnessing the power of the people and collective action.
 
Earth Hour is open-source and we welcome everyone, anyone, to take part and help amplify our mission to unite people to protect our planet.
