EARTH HOUR

The Philippines will observe this year’s Earth Hour mainly at the CCP grounds in Manila to join the global Earth Hour Movement, with cities and municipalities all over the world will be switching off lights from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. This action is expected to send stronger message to everyone to take part in protecting our planet’s biodiversity from the devastating effects of climate change. As a signatory to the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, the Philippines’ participation in the global campaign highlights the need for every Filipino to take action today as climate change continues to threaten our country’s biodiversity and our way of life. # Source: (DILG MC 2018-22)
