A stamp was unveiled with a motive of the mural painted by Eduardo Kobra during the event. Mr. Kobra is from São Paulo, Brazil and the mural was a donation from the Permanent Mission of Brazil, tied to the commemoration of the 200th year anniversary of Brazil's Independence (7 September 1822). The theme of the artwork is Sustainable Development, in particular the concept of meeting the needs of the present without compromising Earth's ability to meet the needs of future generations. The mural was installed on the west façade of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library Building in September 2022.
