Below is a checklist of Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers (PPRG) postal items (stamps, souvenir sheets, aerogrammes, postal cards, etc.). Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the items featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
PPRG is being spearheaded by Finland and Chile (conceived when Chile's President visited Finland in May 2007 and took place during 2009). The campaign is dedicated to raising awareness of the fragile state of the polar regions and glaciers in this era of global warming. Many countries have agreed to participate, with the postal items from many of those countries listed below. To date, stamps or other postal items issued for PPRG have been found from 54 countries.
Most of the PPRG stamps in this page can also be considered as implicitly related to the climate change theme, although most of them do not mention climate change specifically. Those that do are also listed in the climate change page.
