LIGHTS OUT. LET’S ACT ON CLIMATE CHANGE.
WHAT: WWF is calling for everyone across the UK to sign up and take part in Earth Hour – the world’s biggest show of support for our brilliant planet and the need to protect it.
It’s an annual global demonstration where millions around the world switch off their lights for one hour to show they care about the future of our planet and to call for action on climate change.
For the first time in 66 million years we face a mass extinction of wildlife - and humans are the cause. This will be a huge media moment. The need for action has never been more urgent. Human activity is pushing us beyond the environmental limits of the planet. Now is the time for us to drive the change we need for our planet.
The support has grown each year – with a record 178 countries taking part in 2016 - and 2017’s is set to be the biggest yet as it’s the 10 year anniversary of Earth Hour.
WHEN: Saturday 25 March 2017, 8:30pm – 9:30pm
WHERE: Across the UK. Anyone can be part of the biggest global show of support for our planet and do something great to inspire more action on climate change. Celebrate the planet with candlelit dinners, stargazing and enjoying torch lit walks under atmospheric night skies.
HOW: It’s up to you how you spend the hour. Some ideas to get you started, you can:
- Switch your lights out alongside 170+ countries and their famous landmarks
- Stargazing walks, planet friendly candlelit dinners or create your own Earth Hour night with your friends and family
- Join an event taking place in your community
Whatever you do, make it an amazing hour for our planet.
WHY: There has never been a more important moment to show we wall want action on climate change. That’s why on Saturday 25 March WWF is asking people take part in WWF’s ‘Earth Hour’.
Why take part? What’s the urgency?
- Nearly 1 in 6 species are at risk of extinction due to climate change
- 2015 was the warmest year on record, but it’s now been confirmed that 2016 will beat this
- From the Paris Agreement to the UK’s Climate Act, we’ve made great progress – but there’s still a lot more to do
The irreversible impacts of climate change are getting faster. We can’t afford to let progress on fighting climate change slow down. By joining Earth Hour, you can help keep the UK moving on climate change with a strong climate action plan. So sign up and help show that the time for climate action is now!
