The 2023 Synod of Victoria and Tasmania meeting resolved that “all sections of the UCA Victoria and Tasmania were to aim for zero emissions by 2040”. In response, the Glen Waverley Uniting Church Property Committee, with approval from the Finance Committee, Treasurer, and Church Council, formed a project team to recommend steps to help the congregation achieve zero emissions (or as close as possible) by 2040. It is expected that a summary of the proposed projects will be available in Kingsway prior to the meeting (also at http://wiki.gwuc.org.au/gwuc/EmissionsReport202409?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=EmissionsReductionSummary2024.pdf.) The full project team report is available from the office and from the wiki http://wiki.gwuc.org.au/gwuc/EmissionsReport202409?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=EmissionsReport.pdf. A high level overview will be presented at the meeting and members of the congregation will be invited to ask questions.
