Starting as a symbolic lights out event in Sydney in 2007, Earth Hour is now the world's largest environmental grassroots movement, inspiring millions of people to take action for our planet and nature.

From pushing for environmentally-friendly laws and policies to crowdfunding for a better future, YOU make Earth Hour possible. Coordinated by WWF and other volunteer organisations, Earth Hour’s greatest strength is the power of people.

EARTH HOUR 2021 BREAKS ALL RECORDS!

Earth Hour has always drawn its power from the people - and this year was no exception. We showed that despite the physical distance, we were still able to unite digitally to speak up for nature louder than ever. Taking place just a few months before crucial climate and nature conferences in the months ahead, Earth Hour sent an unmissable message to world leaders that millions of people around the globe demand urgent action in tackling our planet’s biggest environmental challenges.

Each year, hundreds of people come together to celebrate Earth Hour in Azerbaijan to generate awareness on climate change on global warming.

Earth Hour has been celebrated in Azerbaijan since 2011, and is supported by youth organizations, institutions and companies that support environmental action.

This year, Azerbaijan organized Earth Hour under the slogan “Connect2Earth” by engaging hundreds of citizens and switching off lights of historical monuments and landmarks of Baku city for an hour.
