On Saturday evening, Buckingham Palace will go dark for one hour as part of Earth Hour, an initiative led by WWF to promote environmental awareness. At 8:30 PM local time, not just Buckingham Palace, but also Clarence House and Windsor Castle will extinguish their lights, joining a worldwide movement that has been underway since 2007. This symbolic act aims to highlight the urgent need for climate action.
Iconic landmarks across the globe, including the Sydney Opera House and the London Eye, will also participate, reinforcing the message of solidarity against climate change. The event encourages millions to turn off their lights, showcasing a collective commitment to environmental stewardship.
In Germany, 520 cities, including the Brandenburg Gate, joined in this global campaign, urging future governments to prioritize climate and environmental protection in their policies. As cities like Paris, New Delhi, and Vatican City dimmed their lights, Earth Hour served as a reminder of the collective responsibility to combat climate crisis.
The WWF continues to advocate for immediate action, emphasizing the importance of addressing climate change before it's too late. This year's Earth Hour is more than just a moment of darkness; it embodies a call to action for individuals and governments alike to prioritize our planet’s health.
