Earth Hour shines a light on the need for climate action by encouraging people to power down for 60 minutes every year.
This year Earth Hour celebrates 16 years of saving energy and raising awareness of the impacts of climate change.
“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,” the website states.
