WHAT IS EARTH HOUR 60+?

An Hour that can change decades.

Every year, at 8:30 pm on the last Saturday of March,

millions of people across the world join in raising awareness of the issues facing our planet.

But Earth Hour is more than just an Hour for the planet - it's a movement for our future.

And it's more than just a symbol of support - it's a catalyst for urgent change.

AWARENESS INTRODUCTION TO THE GLOBAL INITIATIVE FOR "EARTH HOUR 60+" AND THE ROLE IT PLAYS IN OUR LIVES.

AFTER THE PRESENTATION, THE PLANNED TELESCOPE OBSERVATIONS WERE CANCELLED

DUE TO BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS.

*ATTENDANCE IS VIA BOOKING ONLY*

Since our beginnings in 2007, Earth Hour has been known for the “lights off” moment, with individuals from around the globe switching off their

lights to show symbolic support for the planet and to raise awareness of the environmental issues affecting it.

More than 15 years later, we are now at a tipping point with our climate and nature crises, putting at risk the fate of our one home and all our futures.

We are on course to breach by 2030 the 1.5°C global temperature increase limit set by the Paris Climate Agreement, and nature - the source of

our very livelihoods and one of our biggest allies against the climate crisis - is also under severe threat,

facing alarming and unprecedented rates of loss globally.

The next 7 years are therefore 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 and biodiversity 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 home.

With this 2030 goal in mind, we too must step things up. So this year, we’re breathing new life into Earth Hour - our brand, our work, our message,

and our mission - creating the Biggest Hour for Earth. How? By calling on our supporters across the globe to switch off their lights

and give an hour for Earth, spending 60 minutes doing something - anything - positive for our planet.

With our presence in over 190 countries and territories, we can use the power of the people to turn a single Earth Hour

into thousands and millions of hours of action and awareness, creating a domino effect of impact that continues well beyond the 60 minutes.

Amidst our increasingly divided and polarized societies, the Biggest Hour for Earth becomes a precious moment of unity,

reminding the world that our one shared home needs our help and that we all can - and must - play a part in protecting it.
