Dilraba Dilmurat, Park Seo-Joon support Earth Hour with special messages
Earth Hour rolled across the globe last Saturday (27 March), where millions of people came together online to speak up for nature and inspire action for a brighter future.
In its 15th year, the movement saw individuals, celebrities, and prominent public personalities from around the world supported Earth Hour to help raise awareness on the importance of nature and the role we can all play in the global efforts to address the climate and nature crises.
“The success of Earth Hour always moves me. Just when we think it can’t get any bigger, it demonstrates again the enormous weight of public desire for environmental action. As the world faces unprecedented challenges, people have come together to speak up for nature - loudly and clearly - and inspire urgent action for the environment,” said Marco Lambertini, Director General at WWF International.
