Earth Hour 2026, observed on 28 March from 8:30 to 9:30 PM, marked the 20th anniversary of the global environmental movement led by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). With the theme “Give an Hour for Earth,” the initiative encouraged individuals, communities, and institutions to switch off non-essential lights and dedicate time to environmentally positive actions. Iconic landmarks across India, including India Gate and Red Fort, participated, symbolising collective commitment to sustainability.
Earth Hour originated in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, as a symbolic response to climate change. Over the years, it has evolved into a global movement spanning more than 190 countries. Beyond symbolic action, it has influenced environmental policies and awareness, contributing to conservation efforts such as marine protection and forest legislation in various countries.
