Earth Hour 2025 “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”
Every year, millions of people across the globe come together for Earth Hour, a symbolic event where individuals, communities, and businesses turn off their non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change and environmental sustainability. In 2025, Earth Hour will take place on Saturday, March 22, at 8:30 PM local time, once again reminding the world of the power of collective action.
The Significance of Earth Hour
Since its inception in 2007 by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Earth Hour has grown into a global movement spanning over 190 countries. While switching off lights may seem like a small gesture, it serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to combat climate change, reduce energy consumption, and protect biodiversity.
This year’s theme, “Create the Biggest Hour for Earth”, emphasizes the need for communities, businesses, and governments to work together in addressing the environmental crises facing our planet. Earth Hour 2025 aims to inspire people to go beyond the hour by taking concrete actions that contribute to a sustainable future.
