Each year, Earth Hour provides people around the world with the opportunity to show how much they care about nature – and to help others understand its vital importance in all our lives as well as the devastating threats to people and the planet. A time to celebrate, but also a time to highlight the need for action.
On the night of Earth Hour - 26th March 2022, 8.30 pm, we will ask people around the world to switch off in solidarity with the planet. But there will be a broader call to action: that everyone has a part to play in shaping a new future for people and the planet, from taking individual steps towards living sustainably to urging companies and governments to help build an equitable, nature-positive and net-zero carbon future.
Last year's Earth Hour reached millions of people in a record-breaking 192 countries and territories!
- Individuals can support nature by thinking about their lifestyle choices – making a move towards more ethical purchases, consuming less and more wisely, using bikes for transportation, producing healthy food on balconies, roofs or in gardens, restoring nature where they live and using renewable energy
- Governments can conserve biological diversity and reduce harm to biodiversity whilst restoring what they can of degraded land, rivers and oceans. They can redirect financial flows; both public subsidies and private investments, away from fossil fuel and chemical agriculture towards carbon-neutral and nature-positive practices.
- Businesses can accelerate a transition to clean energy, and produce/consume resources sustainably by fostering green transformative change. This is particularly important for the food, energy and infrastructure sectors.
Everyone has the power to shape our future! This Earth Hour, let’s encourage millions to come together, to do the right thing. We must all act NOW to safeguard the health of our planet and, in turn, our own health and well-being.
