12/6/23, 3:17 PM Commitment for a Sustainable Future: Global Postal Community to Foster Climate Education at COP28
disruption. As we green our infrastructure, it is important to remember that the global postal network
can play an even broader role in supporting climate action. We can use our assets – our reach and
our trusted relationship with people everywhere – to provide climate services to other sectors. I am
confident that the postal sector has the potential to make a substantial contribution to global carbon
reduction goals, thereby supporting the achievement of the targets set forth in the Paris Agreement.”

Abdulla Mohammed Alashram, Group CEO of Emirates Post Group, said: “At EPG, we believe in the
possibilities of the long-standing relationship of postal enterprises with the educational sector,
especially in addressing pressing issues like climate change. The postal sector, with its extensive
global network, has the capacity to deliver climate education to a wider population, especially to
remote communities. Through our strategic partnerships with international and regional
organisations, we seek to bridge the prevailing knowledge gap and encourage climate
consciousness effectively. We have pledged to contribute to the UAE’s climate action efforts by
implementing sustainable initiatives to promote green practices. Through innovative initiatives and a
focus on green logistics, we align our services with the UAE’s sustainable development goals and a
vision for a more sustainable and climate-resilient future”.

By facilitating climate education, postal enterprises are well positioned to drive the efforts to ensure a
sustainable future, nurture customer appreciation for eco-friendly practices, and foster workforce
innovation. The UAE has been a member of the UPU since 1973, and EPG shall support the Union’s
efforts in intensifying the potential impact of postal networks in climate education.

The Greening Education Hub (Erth), Legacy from the Land of Zayed that is organized by the Ministry
of Education at COP28, convenes various stakeholders from the community to share and discuss
experiences and solutions for achieving sustainability. The workshops and sessions are anticipated
to serve as a platform for sharing insights and fostering collaborations to drive collective action
towards a sustainable future.
