Explanation:
1. Earth Hour is not specifically an initiative of UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) and UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). It is a global environmental movement organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to raise awareness about environmental issues, including climate change.
2. Earth Hour involves participants voluntarily switching off non-essential lights and electrical appliances for one hour on a designated day each year. This symbolic action is meant to demonstrate a commitment to taking action against climate change and promoting sustainability.
3. Earth Hour indeed aims to raise awareness about climate change and the importance of environmental conservation. It seeks to engage individuals, communities, and organizations worldwide in addressing the challenges faced by the planet.
