Earth Hour 2011 - Abu Dhabi

As the lights of the Abu Dhabi's prominent Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and Sheikh Zayed Bridge were plunged into darkness for Earth Hour, video teams stood ready to capture the event and others like it throughout the city. In celebration of Earth Day, a 3-minute high definition video released today by the Emirates Wildlife Society in association with WWF (EWS-WWF) and twofour54, Abu Dhabi's regional centre of excellence for Arabic content creation in the media and entertainment industry, reveals a government together with its people and businesses taking action for the planet.

EWS-WWF would like to especially thank the twofour54 team for this beautiful video, the City of Abu Dhabi Municipality for their partnership in hosting our first-ever Earth Hour event in Abu Dhabi, and all of the individuals and stakeholders who contributed to making Earth Hour 2011 a huge success!

The 'Go Beyond the Hour' theme of Earth Hour 2011 challenges everyone to do more for the planet than switch off lights for one hour. Individuals and organizations were encouraged to commit to sustained action for the health of the planet. As a result of this year's Earth Hour efforts in the UAE, more than 400 companies signed up and tens of thousands of individuals participated by attending public events across the emirates, spreading the message through social media platforms, or signing up to go beyond the hour.

EWS-WWF also asks individuals, governments, schools and companies to 'Go Beyond the Hour' by committing to enduring actions, big or small, that they will sustain for the future of our planet. To download the video released and sign up to go beyond the hour, go to:
