Everyone’s familiar with the top university rankings like QS and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, but have you ever considered where the greenest universities in the world lie?

Green universities began as a response to growing concerns about climate change, environmental degradation, and resource depletion. It became more popular when people began to realise the need for sustainable practices, like:

  • Reducing energy consumption by implementing energy-efficient technologies, utilising renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power, and promoting conservation measures.
