Hyderabad is set to join the global Earth Hour 2026 initiative on March 28, with residents and institutions urged to switch off non-essential lights for one hour. The campaign, scheduled from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm, aims to raise awareness about climate action and environmental conservation under the theme “One Hour One City One Impact”.
The initiative encourages citizens to turn off their lights and electrical appliances during the designated hour while focusing on sustainable practices. The campaign emphasizes the dual message of switching lights OFF and turning environmental consciousness ON. Participants across Hyderabad are expected to demonstrate their commitment to addressing climate change through this symbolic gesture.
Earth Hour is a worldwide movement organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) that began in 2007. The initiative has grown to include millions of participants from over 190 countries and territories, making it one of the world’s largest grassroots movements for environmental action. The one-hour lights-off event serves as a platform to spark conversations about nature conservation and climate change mitigation efforts.
