  • Earth Hour - turn off your lights to fight climate change
    Earth Hour - turn off your lights to fight climate change
    Starts: 8:30 pm
    Ends: March 19, 2023 - 9:30 pm


    Description:

    Every year, hundreds of millions of people around the world switch off their lights for one designated hour to demonstrate a commitment to fighting climate change. During Earth Hour—which takes place March 19, 2016, at 8:30 p.m. local time—individuals, businesses, and world leaders join together in an iconic and unprecedented lights-out display.

    WWF launched Earth Hour in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, drawing in more than 2 million participants. The event now engages more than 172 countries and territories and millions of people around the world.

    Taking part in Earth Hour is easy
    1. Turn off all non-essential lights at 8:30 p.m. your local time and let us know you are taking part.
    2. Celebrate your commitment to the planet with your friends, family, community, or at work. You could host a candlelight dinner party with friends or practice your yoga skills by moonlight. Here are more ideas you can do in the dark.
    3. Tell your friends that Earth Hour 2016 is on its way to becoming the largest display for climate change action ever. With your help, we can welcome more participants. Download and use the free starter-kit assets.

  • World Water Day
    World Water Day
    Starts: 12:00 am
    Ends: March 22, 2023 - 11:59 pm


    Description:

    International World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

    Each year, World Water Day highlights a specific aspect of freshwater.

    An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) in Rio de Janeiro. The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day.

    The United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/47/193 of 22 December 1992 by which 22 March of each year was declared World Day for Water, to be observed starting in 1993, in conformity with the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) contained in Chapter 18 (Fresh Water Resources) of Agenda 21.

    States were invited to devote the Day, as appropriate in the national context, to concrete activities such as the promotion of public awareness through the production and dissemination of documentaries and the organization of conferences, round tables, seminars and expositions related to the conservation and development of water resources and the implementation of the recommendations of Agenda 21.
