Show Your Stripes Day is a global moment to share our concern about how the climate is changing and the need for urgent action.
We ask everyone to share the famous “warming stripes”, a powerful visual representation of how temperatures have increased around the world since the industrial revolution. Created by climate scientist Professor Ed Hawkins at the University of Reading, each stripe represents one year. The colours transition from cool blues to warm reds to represent the increases in temperature seen throughout the past 150 years or more.
On 21 June we call on individuals, businesses, and cities around the world to highlight their local climate stripes and share the powerful message they convey.
Thank you to everyone who supported Show Your Stripes (SYS) Day 2024. Details of SYS Day 2025 will be added here in the future.
