For the first time, Earth Hour will extend to the International Space Station, where ESA astronaut and WWF ambassador André Kuipers will keep watch over our planet as the lights switch off on 31 March.

Since inception in the city of Sydney, Australia, in 2007, Earth Hour has become the world’s largest voluntary action highlighting climate change and the need for sustainability.

This year, Earth Hour will take place at 20:30–21:30, at participants’ local time, on Saturday, 31 March, and the event will be observed from space by André on the Space Station.
