Earth Hour is a global phenomenon, with participation from over 190 countries and territories around the world since it started in 2007.
It’s a powerful demonstration of collective action to raise awareness about environmental issues and inspire positive change. The widespread participation reflects the growing concern for our planet’s well-being and the desire for individuals and communities to take action towards a more sustainable future.
The next 7 years are crucial to all our futures – we have to stay under the 1.5°C climate threshold to avoid irreversible damage to our planet, and we need to reverse nature loss by 2030, ending the decade with more nature than we started, not less. To make this happen, individuals, communities, businesses, and governments must all urgently step up their efforts to protect and restore our one shared home, Earth.
Take part in Earth Hour spending 60 minutes doing something – anything – positive for our planet. To show support for environmental sustainability and raise awareness about the importance of taking action against climate change.
Joining the largest Earth Hour is a fantastic way to contribute to a global movement for environmental awareness and action. By participating in the biggest hour for Earth, you’ll join millions of people around the world in showing support for sustainability and combating climate change.

Every small action counts towards making a big difference for our planet.
