THE Impact Rankings is currently the world’s only ranking measuring universities’ contributions to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and assesses university commitment to sustainability across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach, and teaching. Progress is measured for each of the individual 17 SDGs, as well as across the goals as a whole.
A record 1,524 institutions from 110 countries/regions have participated across the rankings this year, a 23% increase since last year, reflecting the growing importance of the SDGs within higher education institutions globally.
