EARTH HOUR 2022 Set against the backdrop of another challenging year – with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, war and social unrest, natural disasters and more – Earth Hour 2022 created an opportunity to gather in unity and show solidarity with people and the planet. Individuals, public figures and organizations from 192 countries and territories came together under the “Shape our Future” theme to call for a safer, fairer and more sustainable future for everyone. We saw landmarks turn off their lights and supporters switch off at home, as well as a range of activities such as virtual concerts, mangrove planting, street clean-ups and virtual runs. Public figures and celebrities, such as UN Secretary-General António Guterres, Justin Trudeau, Ellie Goulding, Iwan Rheon, Claudia Bahamón, Gianella Neyra, Mr Leo, Ben Pol, Liu Wen, Dilraba Dilmurat, Shruti Haasan and many more, also showed their support. With this outpouring of support, Earth Hour made media headlines across the world, generated a record-breaking 10.1+ billion social media impressions globally and trended across 35 countries on Twitter or Google search. All of this showed that despite these difficult times, a moment like Earth Hour could yet again bring people together – not only to show their solidarity with each other and the one home we all share, but to help build a world where all people and nature live in harmony. Thank you to each and every one of you who made this possible. EARTH HOUR 2021 Earth Hour has alw...

FAQs

Earth Hour, organized by WWF, is a global grassroots movement uniting people to take action on environmental issues and protect the planet. Engaging a massive mainstream community, Earth Hour was famously started as a lights out event in Sydney, Australia in 2007. Since then, it has grown to engage millions of supporters in more than 185 countries and territories, inspiring individuals and organizations worldwide to take action for the environment, and driving major legislative changes by harnessing the power of the crowd. As the movement grows, the one-hour lights out event continues to be the symbol of a broader commitment toward nature and our planet. While WWF projects and individual actions under the Earth Hour movement continue throughout the year, the annual Earth Hour lights out event is held worldwide toward the end of March to encourage individuals, households, communities and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights for one hour as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. The first thing anyone can do to get involved is to turn off their lights during Earth Hour. But there is much, much more. Our objective is for people to take action beyond the hour, whether it is supporting a local WWF project or getting involved in Earth Hour campaigns in their own country, or starting the movement in their own community. The vision is always to do more, so make the light switch the beginning of your journey. For the past 10 years, people around the world have co...
