Earth Hour

Since its inception in 2007, Earth Hour has gained global recognition for its “lights off” moment, symbolizing support for the planet and raising awareness of environmental issues. Now, with the climate and nature crises reaching a critical tipping point, Earth Hour is evolving with a renewed focus on empowering individuals to take action and make a lasting positive impact on our planet. Introducing the Biggest Hour for Earth, a campaign that urges people around the globe to spend 60 minutes doing something positive for our planet.

The Urgency of the Climate and Nature Crises

The next seven years are crucial for our shared future. To avoid irreversible damage, we must stay under the 1.5°C global temperature increase limit set by the Paris Climate Agreement by 2030. Additionally, we must reverse nature loss, ending the decade with more nature and biodiversity than we started with. To achieve these ambitious goals, individuals, communities, businesses, and governments must urgently step up their efforts to protect and restore our planet.

The Biggest Hour for Earth: A Global Movement for Change

The Biggest Hour for Earth aims to transform Earth Hour into a powerful global movement that unites people in their commitment to protect and restore our planet. By calling on supporters in over 190 countries and territories to switch off their lights and dedicate an hour to Earth, Earth Hour aims to create a domino effect of action and awareness that extends far beyond the symbolic 60 minutes.

Here’s how you can participate in the Biggest Hour for Earth:

  1. Switch off your lights: Turn off non-essential lights in your home or workplace for one hour during Earth Hour.
  2. Give an hour for Earth: Dedicate 60 minutes to doing something positive for the planet, such as planting trees, cleaning up litter, or educating others about sustainability.
  3. Share your commitment: Use social media to share your Biggest Hour for Earth activities and encourage others to join the movement.
  4. Collaborate with your community: Organize local events or initiatives that promote environmental awareness and sustainable living.
  5. Take action beyond Earth Hour: Continue to make sustainable lifestyle choices and support environmental organizations working to protect and restore our planet.
