Since starting in 2007, Earth Hour, which takes place on 22 March has been known for the “lights off” moment, with individuals around the world switching off their lights to show support for the planet and raise awareness of the environmental issues affecting it.
The organisers have said that the next five years are crucial to all our futures and to avoid irreversible damage to our planet and so this year are planning the “Biggest Hour for Earth” yet. How? By calling on 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. Amidst our increasingly divided and polarised 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.
The theme for Earth Day 2025 is “Our Power, Our Planet”. This powerful campaign emphasises the collective responsibility we all share in transitioning to renewable energy sources and creating a sustainable future.
