Earth Hour

Earth Hour, probably the best-known climate protection campaign in the world, takes place again on 22 March. Every year at the end of March, the lights are switched off for one hour at famous monuments (such as the Empire State Building in New York or the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin), businesses and private homes.

This year, however, we want to go further and also get loud together during this one hour for the earth - and sing! Because music creates community and inspires. Together, we want to send a clear message: Climate protection needs us all. That's why we're raising our voices. See also: https://www.wwf.de/earth-hour

The central event for Earth Hour will take place at the Brandenburg Gate on 22 March. We are inviting everyone to sing together with us: as ‘Earth Hour Voices’. Various choirs and bands will set the tone, the lyrics will be displayed on screens, and electricity will be generated by bicycles on which energy will be cycled.

Lights off, voice on: Together for a living planet

Come to the Brandenburg Gate on 22 March at 8.30 pm! Because not only will the lights go out there for this year's Earth Hour - it will also be loud. Together with well-known choirs and musicians, everyone can raise their voices and sing for climate protection.

Music creates community and inspires. Together, we want to send a clear message: Climate protection needs us all. Against the backdrop of the dark Brandenburg Gate, a new collective choir will be created for one hour: the Earth Hour Voices. And you can be part of it!

Earth Hour is also celebrated in Berlin: At 8:30 p.m. sharp, the lights go out for one hour in many places.

Earth Hour is an open action and we welcome everyone to join in and help amplify our mission to unite people to protect our planet.


Earth Hour was launched in 2007 by WWF and its partners as a symbolic lights-out event in Sydney and is now one of the world's largest grassroots movements for the environment.But Earth Hour goes far beyond the symbolic action of switching off - it has become a catalyst for positive environmental impact, driving important legislative change by harnessing people power and collective action.
