UCU: Annual meeting and committee on environmental issues

Motion

Motion text: Congress notes:
1. The UCU Climate and Sustainability Conference held in March 2021.
2. That the meeting positively supported the self-education and organising of activists.
3. That creating stable structures for holding similar recurring meetings, and to represent and organise members on this employment interest, would be valuable to UCU and the NEC.
Congress resolves:
a. That UCU holds an Annual Meeting on Environmental Issues each year, to advise the NEC under Rule 25.1 or by other constitutional means.
b. That standing orders be drawn up to formally organise the Annual Meeting, including allowing branches to send motions and a report to be made available to the NEC.
c. The meeting should keep a timetable similar to other such Annual Meetings.
d. Recognising the organising benefits of creating a stable advisory body for members to coalesce around within UCU, to address this sector-wide interest by establishing a standing advisory committee
