As every year, Earth Hour, initiated by WWF, mobilizes cities, citizens, public authorities, and economic players worldwide to demonstrate their commitment to the planet with a strong gesture: turning off the lights for one hour.
In 2018, 188 participants and territories around the world took part in the operation and turned off their iconic buildings.
A call is made for everyone to participate.
This year, the City of Nice will turn off its iconic buildings starting at 8:30 PM, saving a total energy of 1,500 kWh:
