Switch Off and Connect with Nature - 22/03/25 - 8.30pm

This Saturday 22 March, millions of people will switch their lights off as part of Earth Hour 2025. For 60 minutes, darkness will spread across the globe.

Previous Earth Hours have seen landmarks like the London Eye and Sydney Opera House switch off and turn the world’s city skylines dark. For this hour, millions stop and take notice of the climate emergency.

Earth Hour is an annual campaign from WWF to draw attention to the climate emergency. It gives governments and decision makers around the world an unmissable reminder of the need to act to protect our planet.

The first Earth Hour was in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then, over 190 countries and territories have taken part. 2024 saw the biggest Earth Hour yet, with 1.4 million hours given to the Hour Bank.

Join millions this weekend and switch off. There are some interesting facts and useful ideas on what you can do for this hour on the WWF website here, helping you to connect with nature and each other.
