EARTH HOUR: Nice Turns Off Its Lights for 1 Hour to Let the Planet Breathe

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.
