ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Saturday joined the global celebration of Earth Hour, a symbol of its commitment to environmental awareness and sustainability.

As part of the initiative, lights at key government buildings, including the Parliament House and the Presidential Palace, were switched off for one hour from 8:30 pm. Non-essential lighting was also switched off in key government institutions on the occasion.

Earth Hour, first introduced in 2007, is observed every year on the last Saturday of March. The initiative aims to raise awareness about environmental protection and climate change by encouraging individuals, businesses and governments to reduce energy consumption.

Pakistan’s participation underscores its commitment to global efforts to combat climate change and environmental degradation.
