What is Earth Hour?
Started by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature) in 2007, Earth Hour is an event that allows people to show their collective support for the planet through the symbolic action of people turning off their lights for an hour.
Over the years, it has grown to become the world’s largest grassroots environmental movement with people in more than 190 countries and territories taking energy-saving actions.

This year, WWF-Singapore’s Earth Hour Festival 2025 will be held on 22 March at Sentosa Sensoryscape. It celebrates Singapore’s rich natural heritage in celebration of SG60 and empowers individuals to contribute to a healthier, more resilient planet.
The Earth Hour Festival 2025 is themed “The Biggest Hour for Earth.” It emphases the power of collective action, encouraging individuals to take purposeful actions that spark behaviour change and deepen their connection to nature and their community.
The festivities at Sentosa Sensoryscape will immerse visitors in nature as they explore the 30,000 square metre oasis that blends nature, design and technology for an immersive multi-sensorial journey, featuring more than 250 species of plants.
The experience will be enhanced by light and sound play and also feature community-driven initiatives, interactive games and performances that explore climate action and nature conservation.
Highlight Activities
Highlights of the Earth Hour Festival 2025 include exploring the impact of our food choices on the planet, the vital role of nature in building climate resilience, and how WWF-Singapore’s programmes support this by tackling illegal wildlife trade and protecting key ecosystems.
There will also be hands-on activities such as assembling solar lights, exploring sustainable food choices at the “Build Your Own Planet-Friendly Meal” workshop, and creating a World Water Day-inspired piece to bring home.
Visitors can also explore the Sustainable Sentosa booth. This booth highlights the island’s sustainability initiatives. It will feature an interactive 3D installation where participants are invited to pledge their personal commitment to sustainability, with pledges written on repurposed banners, as well as an environmental showcase that brings attention to the interesting flora and fauna of Sentosa and conservation efforts.
