The UN's paramount scientific authority on climate change, IPCC, meets in Paris from January 29 to February 1 to hammer out the first volume of a long-awaited report on the state of global warming today. In order to show concern about global warming, environmentalists initiated the global initiative by calling on citizens to switch off the lights for five minutes on February 1, coinciding with the major meeting.
The event is scheduled for 7:55 PM to 8:00 PM (1855-1900 GMT).
By turning off the lights and electrical gadgets that are in a stand-by mode, "citizens, the media and decision-makers will get the message about energy waste and the urgent need for action," the Alliance for the Planet said on Friday.
