BANGKOK/BERLIN (dpa): Iconic landmarks and city skylines around the world went dark on Saturday as millions joined Earth Hour, a global campaign by environmental group WWF calling for urgent action to tackle climate change and halt nature loss.

From Asia to Europe, buildings large and small switched off their lights in a symbolic show of solidarity for the planet.
