Azerbaijan joins international Earth Hour 2026 campaign

Azerbaijan, as part of the international Earth Hour campaign, has joined the mass event 'Earth Hour 2026,' organized by the IDEA Public Union, the official coordinator of the campaign in the country, and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

As reported by IDEA, around 80 institutions and organizations participating in the campaign turned off the facade lighting of their administrative buildings for one hour starting at 20:30 local time. Alongside this, hundreds of young people living in various cities and regions of the country also joined the initiative privately, demonstrating solidarity in environmental protection.

The IDEA Public Union expressed gratitude to all institutions and organizations, as well as to the individuals who privately participated in the 'Earth Hour 2026' campaign held in the country this year.

It should be noted that this year marks the 20th anniversary of the Earth Hour campaign worldwide. Azerbaijan joined this campaign in 2011, and since then, the event has been held annually with the support of IDEA.

Earth Hour, the world's largest environmental movement, mobilizes millions of people to combat climate change.
