United Nations - Climate Change - First Day of Issue Cover

On 23 October 2008, the United Nations Postal Administration issued six commemorative stamps on the theme “Climate Change”, in the denominations of US$ 0.42, US$ 0.94, CHF 1,20, CHF 1,80, € 0,65 and € 1,15. Shown here is, of course, the US$ 0.42.

The horizontal mini-sheets of 4 stamps have two marginal inscriptions, one in the left margin and one in the right margin. The marginal inscription consists of the United Nations emblem with the text “United Nations” above and the year 2008 below the emblem. In the top margin is the text “Climate Change”. The UNPA logo appears in the upper right and lower left tabs. The words “Photograph by Gary Braasch” appear in the lower right margin. One copyright symbol appears in the lower left margin.
