The United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) has issued stamps featuring “Climate Action Superheroes” in support of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 28) held in the United Arab Emirates from 30 November to 12 December 2023.
The United Nations Climate Action Superheroes educate children on how to help limit global warming and take care of our environment. Empowering children to be heroic leaders for change and believe in the impact they can have on the planet is crucial.
The sheet of 10 stamps features five US$ 1.50-denominated stamps and five CHF 1,10-denominated stamps.
The tabs on the left of the stamp sheet feature the following Climate Action Superheroes:
-
Truth Talker – Has the facts about climate change and tells others about it.
-
Veggie Vindicator – Educates everyone on why to eat – and appreciate – more veggies.
-
Recycle Ranger – Knows proper recycling techniques and shows others what items belong in which bin.
