What is Earth Hour?

People from more than 7000 cities across the globe are set to take a stand and raise their voice against biodiversity loss by celebrating Earth Hour on Saturday, 28 March 2020. In the last ten years, Earth Hour has become the largest voluntary grassroots environmental campaign in the world. As the planet continues to witness climate records being broken and the loss of biodiversity at an alarming rate, Earth Hour is mobilizing individuals, communities and organizations globally to do their part to help protect the planet we call home.

In the past decade, as global efforts to control climate change gained momentum, Earth Hour has helped bridge the gap between the grassroots and governments, taking conversations around conservation from conference rooms to living rooms in over 188 countries.
