The University of Jyväskylä improved its ranking in the sustainability assessment: close to the top in climate action
The assessment surveyed 1,591 universities from 112 countries. Seven Finnish universities were included.
In addition to a general ranking, universities were given positions in 17 different categories with different goals.
JYU reached best results in the goal areas of climate action (position 54), life on land (72 ) and life below water (82).
For the fifth time, Times Higher Education published an impact ranking, which is based on assessing universities from the perspective of how they promote and implement the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
The ranking methodology is based on 17 sustainable development goals of the United Nations. They have been taken down to various qualitative and quantitative indicators that measure the impact, sustainability and responsibility of universities. Data for the assessment are collected directly from the universities and the Elsevier publication database.
