Transition to Daylight Saving Time Supported: Important Facts for 2025.


Ukraine, along with other European countries, is likely to switch to daylight saving Time on March 30, 2025. Economic studies show that this has many advantages, including energy savings, improved health, and a boost to the economy.
Statistics show that only 60 out of 200 countries worldwide observe the clock changes.
Economic Benefits of Clock Changes
The economic arguments for changing the clocks are very compelling. Efficient use of daylight leads to economic advantages and contributes to environmental well-being.
An example is Italy, where the clock changes saved 11.3 billion kWh of electricity and prevented the emission of 180,000 tons of CO2.
'The economic losses if the clock changes are canceled could reach billions in losses,' warn economists.
Health and Quality of Life Benefits
Scientific studies confirm that changing the clocks has a positive impact on public health. Overall mortality decreases by 4.5% in summer time and by 2.5% in winter time.
Longer evenings encourage greater social activity and time spent outdoors.
Situation in Ukraine and the European Union
Ukraine continues to adhere to the practice of clock changes according to a Cabinet of Ministers resolution. The transition to daylight saving time will occur on March 30, 2025, at 3:00 AM.
The European Union also maintains the practice of clock changes, although the 2018 directive was recently withdrawn due to the inability of countries to reach a consensus.
Global Trends and Perspectives
The overall trend in the world indicates that more and more countries are abandoning clock changes, but economic and scientific arguments remain relevant.
Ukraine and most European countries will continue to change their clocks to daylight saving time, following established practice.
