About SERA

Our aim is to promote sustainable environmental policies within government and the Labour Party. SERA uses its experience of MP and ministerial dialogue to encourage parties with an interest in the environment to further environmental politics.

Policies
Our strategic priorities for campaigns and policies are based on extensive consultation exercises with senior civil servants, local councillors, policy advisors, MPs and Ministers. For further information, see campaign groups.

SERA has established a number of forums to facilitate the discussion of environmental issues within the political arena. We hold regular parliamentary meetings and seminars, and have an extensive programme of events at Labour Party Conference, often in partnership with other green NGOs.

Contributors
SERA is a network of environmentalists that brings together politicians, businesses, environmental professionals and trade unionists. SERA has been a strong contributor to the last four Labour policy documents on environmental issues. Individual and organisational members also engaged with SERA to ensure sustainable and environmental policy development.

Organisational Structure
SERA is managed by an elected body, the national executive, who are responsible for the strategic policy development of the organisation. There are 15 members on the national executive plus an elected Treasurer and Youth Officer. These elected members have the option to co-opt a further five members to fill any gaps in expetise and appoint SERA's honarary officers (subject to AGM ratification).
