World ‘giving an hour’ for sustainable nature, climate

‘Small actions can make a big difference’

Additionally, BFI IMAX, Piccadilly Lights, Westfield, Historical Royal Palaces and Buckingham Palace, will also switch off all lights on those premises in support of the campaign.

“Small actions can make a big difference, so we can’t wait to see how many people get involved this year and give an hour for Earth to help bring our world back to life,” the spokesperson added in written comments.

On the importance of environmental campaigns, although global security challenges and conflicts are among the world’s top agenda items, the WWF cited a report that revealed global wildlife population sizes have declined 69 percent on average since 1970, and Britain has become “one of the most nature-depleted countries” in the world.

“Never has it been more important to show our leaders we must tackle the nature and climate crisis with urgent action,” according to the WWF statement that was sent in response to a question by Anadolu.

The campaign has a series of recommendations for those taking part in the campaign during the day, including going outside and “make your outdoor space more nature friendly.”

For those who will be at work, it suggested screening the WWF’s “Save Our Wild Isles business films,” while discussing how your workplace can be part of the solution.

Cooking a “sustainable meal” is a suggestion for participants who will also be asked to take the flagship step by switching off to be a “part of a movement of millions of people around the world.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres defined Earth Hour as a “global show of solidarity with our planet.”

“Let’s turn off the lights and turn the world towards a brighter future for us all,” he said.
