Switch Off for the Planet
WWF’s Earth Hour is the biggest global grassroots movement for the environment. It unites millions of people from over 190 countries and territories in a symbolic act of switching off all non-essential lights for an hour. Beyond the switch-off, the campaign drives collective action with planet-positive activities.
In India, Earth Hour’s imprint keeps getting bigger every year. Iconic landmarks, monuments, public and private institutions, businesses and communities mark the switch-off event in perfect unison.
The switch-off movement continues this year on Saturday, March 28—from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm. But it’s bigger than before. This year marks 20 years of the world celebrating Earth Hour.

20 Years of Earth Hour
This year is special. It marks two decades of an iconic grassroots movement—of people coming together to adopt sustainability and care for the planet. What began as a simple, symbolic switch-off in 2007 has grown into a powerful global tide of action.
Over the years, WWF-India has inspired action through clean-up drives, nature trails, cyclothons and walkathons, citizen science campaigns, wetland assessments, festivals, school and college activities, etc. Millions of individuals have joined us to make a positive impact on our planet.
Today, Earth Hour is a platform for people to learn about nature, reconnect with it and take action for it. Stay tuned to discover the activities & events taking place across Indian cities for Earth Hour 2026.
