About World Green University Ranking

World Green University Ranking 2024 is a scholarly acknowledgment of educational institutions standing at the forefront of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and leading the Green Education Transformation (Education 6.0).
World Green University Ranking classifies universities based on the six pillars of the Holistic Green Education Framework, including leadership governance, curriculum, innovation, facilities, human capital, and community partnerships.

The methodology employed in our Green Education Ranking is designed relying on the six pillars of the Holistic Green Education Framework. Each pillar contributes to the institution’s overall score, with a carefully assigned weight reflecting its significance in fostering sustainability. The total weight of the six pillars collectively amounts to 100%, signifying a balanced evaluation across critical dimensions of Green Education. Within each pillar, various standards are carefully assessed, with weights ranging between 1 and 2, emphasizing the varying importance of each criterion. This nuanced approach ensures a holistic evaluation and offers an insightful measure of universities commitment to Green Education Transformation (Education 6.0).
