Peru Activates Environmental Alert Ahead of Earth Hour
Peruvian authorities issue guidance and activities ahead of Earth Hour 2026, urging reduced energy use and public participation in symbolic lights‑off events.
In preparation for Earth Hour 2026, scheduled for Saturday, March 28, Peru’s Ministry of the Environment (MINAM) has published official guidance and promoted a nationwide environmental awareness campaign. The initiative calls on households, businesses, and municipalities to turn off non‑essential lights and electronics from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. as a symbolic gesture against climate change. WWF Peru is coordinating registrations for local events and encouraging actions such as reducing plastic use and organizing sustainable community activities. The timing coincides with Peru’s broader 2026 environmental calendar, which includes 90 conservation‑related dates to reinforce public commitment to protecting biodiversity and natural resources.
