We are at a tipping point with our climate and nature crises, putting at risk the fate of our home and all our futures. We are on course to breach by 2030 the 1.5°C global temperature increase limit set by the Paris Climate Agreement, and nature — the source of our very livelihoods and one of our biggest allies against the climate crisis — is also under severe threat, facing alarming and unprecedented rates of loss globally.
The next seven years are deemed crucial to all our futures — we need to stay under the 1.5°C climate threshold to avoid irreversible damage to our planet, and together we need to reverse nature loss by 2030. To make this happen, individuals, communities, businesses, and governments must all urgently step up efforts to protect and restore our one shared home.
With this 2030 goal in mind, we all must step things up. How? By calling on supporters across the globe to switch off their lights and give an hour for Earth, spending 60 minutes doing something — anything — positive for our planet.
Amid our divided and polarized societies, the Biggest Hour for Earth becomes a precious moment of unity, reminding the world that our one shared home needs our help and that we all can — and must — play a part in protecting it.
