EARTH HOUR: UN TO GO DARK GLOBALLY, RAISING AWARENESS ON ENERGY
CONSUMPTION, CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS
New York, Mar 29 2014 4:00PM
It will be "lights out" for the United Nations later this evening as
the Organization shuts off the lights at its iconic Headquarters
complex in New York and other facilities around the world in
observance of "Earth Hour," an annual global event raising awareness
about the need to take action on climate change and promoting
sustainable energy consumption.
Organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Earth Hour encourages
individuals, companies, organizations and Governments throughout the
world to switch off their lights for one hour at 8:30 p.m., local time
worldwide.

The event also recognizes that everyone's involvement is needed in
order to make a collective impact and take accountability for their
ecological footprint.
Coming in the lead-up to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's climate
summit this September, Earth Hour aims to focus attention on the need
for climate action. This is a message Mr. Ban brought back from his
visit earlier this week to Greenland, where he travelled to the
Ilulissat Icefjord and witnessed first-hand the alarming impacts of
the climate change phenomenon.
Speaking to reporters yesterday in New York, he said the fjord's
icebergs and glaciers there were melting rapidly. "The effects of
global warming -- melting glaciers, extreme weather patterns and
rising sea levels -- are starting to seriously threaten the
livelihoods [of Greenland's people]," the UN chief said, calling on
world leaders to come to the climate summit with "strong political
will."
For the last few years, the UN Headquarters in New York, its offices
in Geneva and many other UN facilities around the world have joined
other international landmarks participating in Earth Hour. This year,
the UN is going the extra mile and turning off all non-essential
lights at its NY campus for three hours, from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
local time.
All UN staff members around the world have been invited to take part
both in their offices and homes to demonstrate the UN's commitment to
support action on climate change, one of the top priorities of the
Organization.
Meanwhile, the WWF says that along with historic United Nations
buildings, this year's celebration will include activities taking
place from all points on the globe and beyond: from Thailand to
Tahiti, from Iran to Las Vegas, Times Square to Rio de Janeiro, and
from Sudan to the International Space Station.
The date traditionally coincides with the Spring and Autumn equinoxes
in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively, which allows
for near coincidental sunset times in both hemispheres, thereby
ensuring the greatest visual impact for a global "lights out" event.
The first major city to go dark will be Auckland in New Zealand before
Earth Hour moves to Australia, where the movement began seven years
ago.

This year, according to WWF, a massive candle lit display on the lawn
of Parliament House in Canberra will spell out, 'It's Lights Out For
The Reef' as events across Australia mark the impact of climate change
on the Great Barrier Reef, a threatened natural wonder which, like
Greenland's Ilulissat Icefjord, has been inscribed on the UN
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World
Heritage List.
