Hong Kong’s iconic landmarks participated in Earth Hour on Saturday, March 22, 2025, by turning off their lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change and the importance of energy conservation. The event, observed globally, encourages individuals, businesses, and cities to take action towards protecting the planet.
From the towering skyscrapers in Central to the illuminated Victoria Harbour, famous sites such as the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the International Commerce Centre, and the Bank of China Tower dimmed their lights at 8:30 PM local time. The lights-out initiative was part of the larger global effort to highlight environmental sustainability and to call for more sustainable energy practices worldwide.
Hong Kong’s participation in Earth Hour is a reflection of the city's increasing commitment to addressing climate change and reducing its carbon footprint. Local environmental groups and government officials voiced their support for the event, emphasizing the need for further environmental awareness, policy action, and collaboration to combat global warming.
Participants in the city also joined the cause by turning off lights in homes and offices. Alongside the symbolic action, many communities and organizations engaged in discussions and events focusing on renewable energy, conservation, and the reduction of emissions.
This year’s Earth Hour not only served as a reminder of the power of collective action but also provided a moment for reflection on Hong Kong's role in global sustainability. As climate change continues to be a pressing issue, the event sparked conversations on how both individuals and businesses can play a significant role in fostering a more sustainable future.
Through this symbolic action, Hong Kong reaffirmed its dedication to making strides toward a greener and more sustainable future, with hopes to inspire other cities and countries to continue working together toward a cleaner, healthier planet.
