#EarthHour2EarthDay Campaign (25 March - 22 April 2023)

Last Updated (Wednesday, 01 February 2023 12:22)

Beginning from 2023 the APAY will implement the Climate Defenders project to further enhance and consolidate the work and programs of Environment and Climate Change. The Climate Defenders project aims to combat climate change and contribute to the achievement of the SDGs through building knowledge and capacity of the organisation and its young people to stop global warming. 

The APAY will launch the #EarthHour2EarthDay Campaign from 25 March - 22 April 2023. Please mark these dates in your calendar and plan to join us in this campaign. 

Objective: The main objective of this campaign is to raise awareness on global warming and how we as individuals can commit and contribute towards averting this climate crisis through our small personal and creative acts of mitigation and adaptation on climate change. 

Campaign description: A sustained 29-day Climate Action Challenge bridging two global events - beginning from Earth Hour which is observed on 25th March 2023 to Earth Day on 22nd April 2023. This campaign uploads online (FB; Instagram; Twitter; TicToc) a daily climate mitigation or adaptation activity (challenge) to be performed by participants. The campaign is amplified through postings by participants on their social media using hash tags: #EarthHour2EarthDay; #YMCA_ClimateDefenders ; #Change4Climate. These 29 daily creative challenges can spark small changes in their personal options towards a responsible low-carbon lifestyle. Our collective actions can make significant contributions towards the goal of capping global warming at 1.5C above the preindustrial levels.
