The Earth Hour movement began in 2007, and started as a lights-off event in Sydney, Australia. Since then, it has become one of the most influential collective environmental protection events globally. In 2018, people from over 180 countries and territories come together to take action for the planet through the event. This year, the theme of the Earth Hour movement focuses on the decline in biodiversity globally, putting forward a proposal of "coexistencewith nature", rallying people worldwide to take immediate action to protect biodiversity.
