JOIN THIS YEAR’S EARTH HOUR ON MARCH 23!

In celebration of this year’s Earth Hour, we would like to invite you to participate on its observance on March 23, 2024 (Saturday), from 8:30 to 9:30 PM.

With our thrust of advancing the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the country, your active participation in the 2024 Earth Hour Celebration can make a significant impact. By joining this global movement, you can demonstrate your unwavering commitment to sustainability and instill environmental consciousness among individuals, fostering a more sustainable future for all.

Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), aimed at raising awareness about the importance of environmental protection and sustainable practices. During this hour, millions of individuals, communities, and businesses switch off their non-essential lights as a symbolic gesture of solidarity and environmental stewardship. Since its inception in 2007, Earth Hour has inspired global initiatives and has rippled into 17,900 landmarks in 192 countries.

By participating, you’re not just turning off lights; you’re showing your dedication to a greener, more sustainable future. Let’s make this Earth Hour count!
