“Earth Hour is a global humanitarian message of solidarity with efforts to protect the environment and promote sustainable practices that preserve its resources. Switching off electrical appliances symbolises the importance of giving the Earth a chance to breathe and raises awareness of the need to protect the environment and address climate change through this global act of solidarity. The UAE was the first Arab country to participate in this initiative, in line with the directives of our wise leadership and its goals to achieve the UAE's Net Zero 2050 Strategy by adopting sustainable practices and habits that contribute to reducing carbon emissions,” said H.E. Ahmad Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower.
