UI GreenMetric World University Rankings has evaluated universities worldwide since 2010 with six indicators: environment and infrastructure, energy and climate change, waste management, water resources, transportation, environmental education and academic research.
The UI GreenMetric World University Ranking focuses on effectively implementing sustainable development goals and raising awareness of this process among universities. This year's ranking involved 1477 universities from 95 countries, including 25 Ukrainian universities.
We are pleased to announce that according to the UI GreenMetric 2024 World University Ranking results, the National University of Ostroh Academy took third place out of 25 Ukrainian universities in this year's ranking and 448th place worldwide.
In particular, Ostroh Academy was ranked first in ecological vehicle use, ahead of other Ukrainian universities. Due to environmentally friendly energy use, climate change, and waste management, our university has risen to second place among Ukrainian universities. It ranks third in terms of facilities and infrastructure indicators. The seventh and tenth positions are related to water use indicators, environmental education and research.
The results of this ranking have once again confirmed that Ostroh Academy provides a high level of educational services and fosters environmental awareness of its students not only at the national but also at the global level. They also demonstrate the contribution of the staff and students of our university to the provision of quality education, gender equality, peace, justice, eco-friendliness, decent working conditions and economic growth, as well as the achievement of other sustainable development goals.
For reference, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also called the Global Goals, are a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all people worldwide.
"The National University of Ostroh Academy proves once again that it is at the forefront of national and international initiatives. The principle guides us: think globally - act locally. We are confident this is the way to achieve our goals, involving proactive Ukrainian youth who want to live in a safe and clean world."
