Astana will join the international Earth Hour campaign by turning off the illumination of over 30 major architectural objects and buildings on March 23 for one hour from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm.
The capital city will be part of the global initiative aimed at raising public awareness about climate change.

The Akimat of Astana has announced the list of buildings supporting the campaign, including administrative buildings, residential complexes, hotels, cultural centers, and monuments. Among them are the Akimat of Astana, the State Academic Philharmonic named after E.
