WWF-Singapore’s Earth Hour Festival 2025, taking place on March 22 at Sentosa Sensoryscape, will celebrate Singapore’s natural heritage for SG60 and inspire individuals to contribute to a healthier, more resilient planet.
Under the theme The Biggest Hour for Earth, the festival will highlight the power of collective action, encouraging individuals to take steps that foster a deeper connection to nature and their community.
WWF’s 2024 Living Planet Report reveals a 60 per cent decline in wildlife populations in Asia-Pacific over the past 50 years, while global temperatures continue to rise, with January 2025 recorded as the hottest on record. The Earth Hour Festival 2025 will demonstrate how individual actions, from consumer choices to community-driven solutions, can drive meaningful change for a greener future.
At Sentosa Sensoryscape, visitors can explore a 30,000m² oasis that blends nature, design, and technology for an immersive, multi-sensory journey featuring over 250 plant species. As the festival’s backdrop, it offers spaces for discovery, conversation, and hands-on experiences that connect people to the natural world.
This year, WWF-Singapore is reintroducing the Hour Bank, an online tool that encourages sustainable activities, from citizen science projects to eco-friendly food choices and personal environmental initiatives. The 2025 edition will feature sustainability-focused activities for all ages, including exploring food’s environmental impact, nature’s role in climate resilience, and WWF-Singapore’s ecosystem protection efforts. Visitors can enjoy hands-on activities like assembling solar lights, attending a planet-friendly meal workshop, and making a World Water Day-inspired craft.
For the first time, visitors can explore the Sustainable Sentosa booth, highlighting the island’s sustainability initiatives. The booth features an interactive 3D installation where participants can pledge their commitment to sustainability on repurposed banners, along with an environmental showcase of Sentosa’s flora, fauna, and conservation efforts.
The evening will feature the Switch Off performance at 19.30, with local performances, leading up to the symbolic Switch Off at 20.30, when Singapore’s landmarks, businesses, and communities power down in solidarity. Over 26 businesses on Sentosa will join by turning off non-essential lights in support of this global movement.
Vivek Kumar, CEO, WWF-Singapore, said: “Safeguarding our planet for future generations requires action rooted in data, evidence and real-world impact. As a science-practice organisation, WWF works on the ground to protect nature and support the communities that depend on it.
“This SG60, we hope to work together with fellow Singaporeans to take meaningful steps toward a future where both people and nature thrive.”
