In view of the ongoing health crisis as a result of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak, the Earth Hour global organising team is recommending for everyone to participate in Earth Hour digitally this year. There are many ways to take part online or at home and show your support for the planet on and around the hour.

Earth Hour has always been a people-led movement. The well being and health of our supporters and staff is our top priority. We stand in solidarity and support of our global communities and encourage all to take part in Earth Hour safely.

Our partners are instrumental in helping us share our messages around Earth Hour. Together we have a stronger voice and can engage more people to join the movement for the planet.

Starting out in 2007 as a Sydney-based initiative to raise awareness about climate change, Earth Hour has grown into the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement – inspiring millions of people from all over the world to show how much they care about our environment.

For Earth Hour 2018-2020, we will focus on the urgent need to reverse the loss of nature – encouraging people to start conversations about the loss of nature and play their part in protecting the world around them.

Earth Hour’s greatest strength is the power of people − and we need your help to inspire even more people to take action.
