Google celebrated Earth Day on April 22, 2023, with a doodle that focused on climate change. The doodle featured a green planet Earth, with the words “Protect Our Planet” in bold letters at the bottom. When clicked, the doodle led users to a page with resources on climate change, including tips on reducing carbon footprint and links to environmental organizations.
This year’s Earth Day comes amid growing concerns about the impact of climate change and the need for action to mitigate its effects. The United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP28, is set to take place in Glasgow, Scotland, in November 2023, where world leaders will discuss measures to reduce global emissions and limit the effects of climate change.
Google has been actively supporting climate action, including being carbon-neutral since 2007 and committing to operate on 100% renewable energy by 2030. The tech giant has also launched initiatives such as Google Earth and Project Sunroof, which aim to raise awareness about climate change and promote the use of renewable energy.
The Earth Day doodle serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting the planet and taking action to combat climate change. It encourages individuals to do their part in reducing their carbon footprint and advocating for policies that prioritize the environment.
