Earth Hour

23 March 2024

Message of UN Secretary-General António Guterres

On Earth Hour, millions of people around the world switch off the lights to shine a light on the plight of our planet. 

This year, I invite you to be one of them. 

The need is urgent. 

Our climate is collapsing. Last year was the hottest ever. 

Earth Hour is a global show of solidarity for taking a different path. 

It demonstrates the power each of us has in the fight for our future. 

So please, join in on March 23rd at 8:30 p.m. local time. 

Together, let’s turn off the lights and turn the world towards a brighter future for us all.
