Every year, at 8:30 pm on the last Saturday of March, millions of people across the world join in raising awareness of the issues facing our planet.
But Earth Hour is more than just an Hour for the planet - it's a movement for our future.
And it's more than just a symbol of support - it's a catalyst for urgent change.
Earth Hour has always drawn its power from the people. Though global circumstances are different this year due to COVID-19, we still have an incredible opportunity to make an impact - online and from our homes. No matter where you are in the world, you can speak up for nature and bring global attention to the issues facing our planet!
Over the years, you've switched off your lights at home, turning entire streets, buildings, and city skylines dark - an unmissable sight that drew public attention to nature loss and the climate crisis.
This year, we invite you to spread the same message and re-create the same unmissable sight online by taking part in our first-ever Earth Hour Virtual Spotlight.

In the midst of the global COVID-19 health crisis, Earth Hour marks a moment of solidarity for the planet as global communities unite and organize events digitally.
Every year, we countdown together across the globe to celebrate Earth Hour and take one iconic action: switch off the lights.
But it is so much more than that. It is a symbol of unity. It is a symbol of hope. It is a symbol of power in collective action for nature.
