The activation is a key opportunity that the public is encouraged to be a part of. Walking side-by-side, the parade will build on the sustainability through innovation ethos of Expo 2020 to emphasize this year\u2019s Earth Hour message: Go Beyond the Hour. It is emblematic of the UAE\u2019s commitment towards Net Zero and a Nature Positive world by transforming and mobilizing mass society to help overcome our greatest environmental challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The procession will make its way throughout EXPO 2020 from 8:30 pm, starting at the Peruvian Pavilion in the Mobility District and ending at 9:30 pm at the UK Pavilion in the Opportunity District. An estimated 60+ pavilions will be participating in a symbolic switch off at intervals of 1 minute, for the duration of Earth Hour, to honor the iconic global event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is apt to be carrying out this year\u2019s event at Expo 2020 as it embodies the UAE\u2019s vision of being at the forefront of sustainable development through innovation. Although Expo 2020 is coming to an end, the legacy of what has been built &#8211; the ideas, the cooperation, and the symbolism of the world in one place looking towards a prosperous future where people and the planet collaboratively thrive \u2013 illuminates how we must move forward. We are proud to be powering down at Expo 2020 and playing a part in the symbolic lights-out movement.
