- Motion text
The environmental and ecological crisis remains a global threat that all
educationists need to address. The attack on “Green “ issues by Right wing press
and Reform has begun to undermine the credibility of this essential UCU policy.
Congress resolves to:
1. Strengthen the role of UCU in negotiations to establish and maintain
comprehensive Climate Action Plans for each AE, FE and HE education
setting
2. Encourage all branches to establish the role of Green Reps as “Branch
Environmental Officers” serving as a core officer role
3. Campaign with local branches for member Learning Agreements and Facility
time for Environmental Officers
4. Request the TUC to enable the appointment of further Regional Green
Bargaining Officers to support the development of regional and sub-regional
networks of Environmental Officers.
