Description
The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm from June 5 to 16, 1972,
is the first world summit to place environmental protection at the heart of the international agenda. It led to the creation of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and the adoption of the Stockholm Declaration, defining 26 principles on environmental management.
This stamp highlights the fundamental relationship between human beings and the earth through a message centered on environmental protection and collective responsibility towards natural resources, expressed by the motto suggesting the uniqueness of the planet. The illustration associates a human figure bearing the fruits of the earth with aligned agricultural crops, symbolizing at the same time agricultural work, fertility and the dependence of humanity on natural balances. The concentric circles evoke the cycles of nature and the interdependence between production, food and the future, while the international emblem reminds us that these issues transcend national borders. In the Tunisian context, this stamp is part of a promotion of the rural world and agriculture as economic and social pillars, while affirming the country's commitment to major environmental causes and the preservation of the earth as a common heritage to be protected.
