Global Landmarks Go Dark for Annual 'Earth Hour' Climate Initiative

WWF's worldwide campaign saw participation from nearly 500 German cities, including Berlin's Brandenburger Tor, to promote climate action and policy reform.

The 'Earth Hour' initiative, organized by WWF, encouraged cities, businesses, and individuals worldwide to turn off lights for one hour to raise climate awareness.
In Germany, nearly 500 cities, including Berlin, Cologne, and Neuschwanstein, participated by switching off lights at iconic landmarks such as the Brandenburger Tor.
Participants at Berlin's Brandenburger Tor marked the event by singing songs like 'What a Wonderful World' and 'Imagine' to emphasize hope and solidarity.
The event began in New Zealand, with landmarks like Auckland's Sky Tower and Harbour Bridge leading the global effort, followed by sites in Sydney, Singapore, and Bangkok.
WWF Germany's climate head, Viviane Raddatz, called for stronger environmental policies to be integrated into the new government's coalition agreement.
