WWF’s landmark Earth Hour movement is set to once again unite millions of people from around the planet to shine a light on climate action. As the earth continues to break climate records, the need for greater ambition and commitment must increase also.

Earth Hour as the world’s largest grassroots movement for the environment is mobilising individuals, communities and organisations to do their part to help change climate change. As skylines darken, people are invited to take a stand for climate action.

The Department of the Environment, Heritage and Climate Changes invites the whole community to support the campaign by setting aside an hour to switch off lights and generally raise awareness of climate change.

As in previous years, the North Face of the Rock, the Moorish Castle and the Supreme Court will not be lit to coincide with Earth Hour. The Castle will be unlit all night on Saturday and the North Face will be unlit over the whole of the weekend.

The “Plus” sign on the Earth Hour logo symbolises that the campaign is beyond just 60 minutes.
