Ethical Affairs Campaign

The Ethical Affairs campaign at Cambridge SU aims to increase the awareness of social and environmental issues around campus and help student campaigns. We also represent students on certain University bodies, such as the Environmental Sustainability Strategy Committee (ESSC).

The Team is working on:

• Campaigning for a reduction of environmental impact by colleges, the wider University and the departments in the context of the global climate crisis, by supporting divestment and climate justice campaigns;
• Developing and promote volunteering, charitable, and activism work for students in the local community, and act as liaison between different student campaigns;
• Campaigning for the University and Colleges to pay the Living Wage for all staff;
• Campaigning against the military-academic complex, and the systematic militarisation of the University;
• Act as a mediator between different student campaigns and the University;
• Promoting the socially responsible use of students' financial resources, whether directly through students' purchasing power, or indirectly through the procurement and investment activities of the Union, the University and the Colleges;
• Supporting the civic and democratic engagement of the student body through voter registration and awareness efforts in the run up to local and national elections;
• Supporting the work of the Green and Ethical Officers of the affiliated Common Room

Most meetings are open to all members of the university.
