Global Shading Day 2025: A new chapter begins with a special website and a global call to action

Please mark March 21, 2025 in your calendar, as the third annual Global Shading Day promises to be bigger and better than ever! This year, the European Solar Shading Organization (ESSO) is proud to announce the launch of a brand new website - www.globalshadingday.com - a comprehensive hub dedicated to raising global awareness about the crucial role of solar shading in sustainable living.

The new website is a one-stop resource that provides insight into the Global Shading Day initiative, introduces participating countries, highlights local events and invites companies, policymakers and individuals to join forces and advocate for smarter cooling solutions.

A growing global movement

Since its inception, Global Shading Day has expanded rapidly, attracting participants from across Europe and beyond. With new countries joining the initiative each year, the movement highlights the growing importance of shading as a passive cooling strategy in combating rising temperatures and reducing energy consumption.

"In 2025, we want to take Global Shading Day to new heights by involving even more stakeholders and amplifying our message through digital platforms," said Ann Van Eycken, secretary general of ESSO. "The launch of globalshadingday.com marks an important step forward in our mission to create climate-resilient buildings worldwide."

Why sun protection is important

As the world struggles with extreme weather conditions and rising energy demand, efficient solar shading offers a simple yet powerful solution:

  • Passive cooling: By controlling heat and light, solar shading reduces dependence on air conditioning, reducing energy consumption and costs.
  • Comfort and well-being: The right blinds provide a more comfortable indoor environment, minimize glare and increase productivity.
  • Sustainability: Smart shading systems contribute to significant CO2 reduction, helping to meet global climate goals.

Join the movement

Global Shading Day 2025 is more than just an event; it is a call to action for governments, architects, engineers and individuals to integrate shading into their daily lives and long-term planning. The new website provides a platform to explore local initiatives, find expert advice and read how you can support the cause.

Stakeholders are encouraged to participate by hosting events, sharing knowledge and promoting the benefits of solar shading through social media and local media channels.
