The Universitat Jaume I joins once again the celebration of Earth Hour convened by the environmental organization WWF with the support of the United Nations and the main public and private organizations worldwide.

The action, to be held on Saturday 25 March 2017, consists of the shutdown of all the lighting of the university campus at 8.30 p.m. For an hour, the Universitat Jaume I will remain in the dark with the aim of helping to mobilize and raise awareness of the problem of climate change.

This year, the organizers give special importance to this event because 2016 was the hottest year recorded since 1880 and 2017 has started with the third January with the highest temperature ever recorded. In addition, the UN has already warned that the planet will live this year an explosive time because of global warming. That is why the motto will be "The Planet first. Let no one stop you."

This year, more than 150 countries and 7,000 cities participate. In Spain, there are more than 280 cities and 300 institutions and companies that adhere to this symbolic gesture that began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, as a sample of WWF's fight against climate change and which has become the largest global initiative in the defence of the environment.

The Universitat Jaume I is committed to the fight against climate change and the protection of the environment both from the point of view of environmental management and the fulfilment of its three missions: teaching, research and transmission of knowledge and culture to the society.
