Universitas Indonesia’s global UI GreenMetric World University ranking system

Sustainability is a global shared goal that is, nevertheless, realized in localized actions. Sometimes finding ways to make sustainability actionable in the immediate environment and activities is challenging also for the universities. In 2010, Universitas Indonesia initiated UI GreenMetric World University ranking system to respond to this challenge. In this episode, Doctor Mustika Sari introduces the UI GreenMetric ranking systems and how Universitas Indonesia has put it in practice in its sustainable campus development ranging from infrastructural solutions to campus community engagement and awareness building. The system has also significant global impact as it has helped the university leaders in over 1000 universities in 84 countries to operationalize sustainability in their campuses.
