the Land of Zayed that is organized by the Ministry of Education in the United Arab Emirates
(UAE) at COP28 and highlighted the vital role of postal networks in advancing climate

education and achieving the global climate action agenda. The event was one in a series of

perspectives from the global postal, educational, and climate policy communities to devise
collaborative initiatives. The discussion centred on leveraging the expansive potential of postal
networks to disseminate tailor-made climate-conscious messages, encourage eco-friendly

practices, and incorporate sustainability into everyday lives of individuals.
