Kerala: In observance of Earth Hour, the lights at the Kerala Assembly in Thiruvananthapuram were switched off to promote energy conservation. The initiative is part of a global effort to raise awareness about climate change and encourage sustainable energy practices.

Earth Hour is a global environmental movement organised by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), where individuals, businesses, and landmarks participate by turning off non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness about climate change and the need for sustainable energy.

Held annually, typically on the last Saturday of March, Earth Hour encourages people to reflect on their energy consumption habits and take action toward reducing their carbon footprint. The event symbolises a collective commitment to protecting the planet and promoting environmental responsibility.
