Yerevan will join the global environmental initiative “Earth Hour”, the municipality said in a statement.

Yerevan will switch off external lighting on main streets and buildings from 20:30 to 21:30 local time on March 28 as part of the global “Earth Hour” initiative.

In recent years, the city has been undergoing large-scale modernization of its external lighting network, replacing outdated systems with energy-efficient solutions, reducing light pollution and improving the night-time environment.
