Lights Off! Singapore to Observe Earth Hour on March 24-26

After a two-year hiatus, the Earth Hour celebration is back in Singapore! Taking place at the Esplanade – Theatres on March 24-26, this year’s iteration aims to raise awareness about the significance of preserving the planet for future generations.

The “Switch-Off” ceremony, which is the highlight of the event, will happen on March 25 at exactly 8:30 PM. During the ceremony, guests and households can participate by turning their lights off for one hour in observation of the worldwide event.

Aside from the “Switch-Off” ceremony, attendees can also look forward to a boatload of activities, including educational talks, eye-catching exhibitions, climate change seminars, outdoor film screenings, and live musical performances.

“With increased national pressure on Singapore’s climate goals to hit Net Zero carbon emissions by 2050, Earth Hour 2023 is transitioning the movement from advocacy to action and thereby extending beyond just the one-hour switch-off,” WWF-Singapore said.

“We aim to inspire and galvanise collective action from communities and individuals toward a low-carbon, climate-resilient Singapore through multiple engagements,” the organisation added.
