The Sky Tower will be one of the first monuments in the world to ‘go dark’ tonight for Earth Hour. From 8.30pm – 9.30pm, the lights will go off in support of this global initiative that shines a light on climate change.

Since starting in 2007, Earth Hour is now the world's largest grassroots movement for the environment, mobilising millions of individuals, communities and organisations around the world to take action for our planet and nature.

SKYCITY has a strong commitment to sustainability and the environment. Across the group we have implemented a number of initiatives and programs to play our part in reducing impact for future generations.

The Sky Tower is the Southern Hemisphere’s tallest man-made structure based in the heart of Auckland, and is one of New Zealand’s most recognisable landmarks.
