The WSA commit to supporting the #showyourstripes campaign and encouraging all members to join in.
What are the stripes? No words. No numbers. No graphs. Just a series of vertical-coloured bars, showing the progressive heating of our planet in a single, striking image.

Campaigners worldwide continue to wear and share them on social media – using the hashtag #showyourstripes – each June on the summer solstice (20th June 2024). For further infomation about the showyourstripes campaign, please visit the University of Reading website here.
