Universities from wealthy countries continue to dominate the Times Higher Education Sustainability Impact Ratings but analysis suggests the gap is narrowing slightly.
The eighth annual ranking, which assesses universities’ progress on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is led by the UK’s University of Manchester, ending Western Sydney University’s four-year run in first place.
Manchester rose from number two last year to claim its second top-spot title, having last led the ranking in 2021. Meanwhile, Western Sydney slipped to third position, behind Queensland’s Griffith University.
The chasing pack includes two Canadian institutions, Queen’s University and the University of Alberta, in fourth and joint 10th respectively; two Malaysian representatives, Universiti Sains Malaysia and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, in fifth and joint seventh; and three further Asian contenders: South Korea’s Hanyang University in sixth, Japan’s Hokkaido University tying for seventh, and National Taiwan University (NTU) in joint 10th. France’s Institut Agro, in ninth place, is the sole representative from continental Europe.
