Take your first step to
Earth Hour Dubai UAE 2016
Earth Hour belongs to
you. Celebrate your commitment to the planet with your friends, family,
community or at work - in your own way. A simple event can be just turning off
all non-essential lights from 8.30pm-9:30 pm.
For one hour, focus on
your commitment to our planet for the rest of this year. To celebrate, you can
have a candle lit dinner, talk to your neighbors, stargaze, go camping, play
board games, have a concert, screen an environmental documentary post the hour,
create or join a community event - the possibilities are endless. Have an event
idea?

Since 2007, Earth Hour
has focused to Hoteliers, businesses, organizations, governments and hundreds
of millions of individuals in over 7,000 cities and more than 170 countries and
territories to act for a sustainable future.
Last year was the hottest
year on record. It was also the year countries came together to work against
climate change at the historic summit in Paris. With the world at a climate
crossroads, Earth Hour 2016 is our time to shine a light on climate action and
build the foundation for a better future for our planet and future generations.
All 7 Emirates
participated in switching off their key landmarks and the Earth Hour campaign
reached around 2.3 million people on social media platforms across the UAE from
2015 onwards and was great success in previous years. Hash tags in relation to
Earth Hour reached a total of 31.7 views across the emirates.

This year’s social media
campaign “shine a light on climate action” empowers individuals and companies
to exponentially spread the message of taking climate action by using the
hashtags#EarthHourUAE and #ChangeClimateChange on their social
networks.
By signing up to the
campaign on
earthhour.org/climateaction,
users allow Earth Hour to send 5 automated posts between 16 and 19 March 2016
to their Facebook wall.
In addition, they will have access to a unique
Earth Hour profile picture. In addition, as the UAE’s most iconic landmarks
prepare to switch off their lights for Earth Hour, supporters are also invited
to take a stand for climate action on their own personal landmarks – their
social media accounts. By taking Earth Hour to the digital space, every individual
has an opportunity to tell their story on how climate change affects people of
all ages, background and cultures and why it is important to act now.
