Earth Hour is a global campaign that raises awareness about climate change on the last Saturday of March every year, from 8.30 to 9.30pm.

Founded by the World Wide Fund for Nature in 2007, it encourages hundreds of millions of people in over 160 countries to voluntarily turn off their lights for an hour as a synchronised global gesture of concern about the devastating consequences of climate change, which are already affecting each and every one of us.

This year, world leaders will be gathering in Paris, France in December to make new commitments towards the world’s reliance on fossil fuels and therefore it’s important to show your support for the fight against climate change.

Join the movement and switch off tonight between 8.30 and 9.30pm!
