Climate Action Countdown: Friday 21 June – Show Your Stripes

The Climate Action Countdown June 7 – July 5. For more fantastic ideas about how to get involved, download our activity packs here!

The climate stripes help us to visualise how temperature has changed over the past 100 or so years.

Create a climate stripes mural!

Today’s Climate Action Countdown challenge is to make your own climate stripes mural!

Collect disposable waste (such as plastic bottles and bags) and paint these to match the stripes.

Add words to the stripe mural

These should be words that you associate with climate action.

Take a photo of you with your mural

Don’t forget to tag @UniofReading @LetsGoZero using #ClimateActionCoutdown and #showyourstripes

In the original climate stripes, each stripe represents the average temperature for a year and shows the temperature warming as the colours turn from blue to red.

These simplified stripes show the average temperature globally for 17, ten-year blocks beginning in 1854. The two stripes at the right of the diagram shows the average temperature for 2003-2023. That’s a big change in your lifetime.
