About the Global Green University Ranking

The Global Green University Ranking (GGUR) is an international benchmarking initiative created by Green Mentors to recognize higher education institutions that demonstrate leadership in sustainability, climate resilience, environmental stewardship, and responsible institutional transformation.

The Ranking has been designed as a complementary framework that encourages universities to reflect upon and strengthen their sustainability performance without creating unnecessary reporting burdens.

Institutions may utilize existing sustainability reports, strategic plans, climate action plans, STARS submissions, THE Impact Rankings documentation, UI GreenMetric data, ESG reports, and other institutional evidence.
