UCU recognises:
1) The ecological impact of national and global policies and activities which are damaging the ecosystem
2) The need for the adoption of the principles of sustainability to combat these policies.
3) The positive role which the education sector can play in promoting sustainability.
Congress therefore commits UCU to:
1) Promoting action at institution level to develop sustainable workplace polices and practices, such as 'greening the campus'.
2) Developing the environmental role of union reps and campaign to extend legal rights to paid release for their duties and training.
3) Contributing to efforts to promote sustainability via all elements of the curriculum.
4) Support appropriate organisations and campaigns in pursuit of these objectives.
5) Instruct UCU NEC to organise a fringe meeting on the environment at the 2008 UCU Congress
6) Explore the policy options for reducing the 'environmental footprint' of UCU.
