 ABOUT UI GREENMETRIC
UI GreenMetric World University Ranking (UIGWUR) is
a ranking on green campus and environmental
sustainability initiated by Universitas Indonesia in
2010. Through 39 indicators in 6 criteria, UI
GreenMetric World University Rankings prudently
determined the rankings by universities’ environmental
commitment and initiatives.

For more than 13 years, UI GreenMetric World

University Rankings has accomplished the mission of
enabling universities around the world to be more
sustainable in their operations. To achieve this, it
works on three thematic priorities: (1) Shaping Global
Higher Education and Research, (2) Creating Global
Sustainability Leaders, and (3) Partnering on Solutions
to Sustainability Challenges. To implement the second
thematic priority, seven member universities offer a
free online course for UI GreenMetric World University
Rankings Network member universities.

At the heart of this collaboration is the commitment

and passion to attract and engage future sustainability
leaders in pursuit of a greater understanding of the
AIMS, VISIONS, & MISSIONS world’s complex challenges on sustainability.

ORGANIZATION
We believe that universities play an integral 1

role in the joint effort between stakeholders

and communities in combating climate
change. By promoting and developing novel
ideas and innovations, we hope universities
could promote energy and water conservation,
waste recycling, and green transportation.
However, such activities will require a change
of behavior as well as economic and social
problems related to sustainability. In this
regard, we hope universities may become role
models for society and a critical partner to the
government.
UI GreenMetric World University Rankings Network will be
organized and run by the UI GreenMetric World University
Initially, we will collect numeric data from
Rankings secretariat, a steering committee consisting of
universities and process the data provided into
regional coordinator representatives, in cooperation with
a single score that reflects the efforts being host universities that host UI GreenMetric World University
made by the institution to implement Rankings events.

The dialogues made it very evident that the indexes currently being used to evaluate institutions did not provide credit to
universities that were making efforts to decrease their carbon footprint. The founders of UI GreenMetric were aware that
other prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Chicago, and Copenhagen, were managing and enhancing their
sustainability.
Additionally, collaborations between universities in sustainability also exist. The United States Green Report Card is a
ranking system for 300 colleges that incorporates data on sustainability. This is great, however, the results are presented
as grades (from A to F) rather than rankings, and the range of universities featured is restricted.

CREATING RANKING &

METHODOLOGY
We recognized the need for a uniform system that
would be appropriate for universities around the world
and where the outcomes were based on a numerical
score that would allow ranking. This led to comparisons
between universities’ rankings that could be made on
the criteria of their commitment to addressing the
issues of sustainability and environmental impact.
We are utilizing a set of criteria that have been
considered to be straightforward to complete while
still credible on critical indicators. In the current
performance evaluation tool there are 39 indicators
and 6 criteria i.e. Setting and Infrastructure (SI), Energy
and Climate Change (EC), Waste (WS), Water (WR),
Transportation (TR), and Education (ED).

 BACKGROUND OF THE COURSE

The Sustainable Universities: Global Practices & Sustainable Development Goals course is a unique global
online course offered by the University of Sao Paolo, Universitas Indonesia, El Bosque University, University
of Szeged, University of Sharjah, Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo, University of Sousse, and
Oguz Han Engineering and Technology University. UI GreenMetric Online Course on Sustainability is
designed as an online undergraduate-level introduction to the most challenging question facing our
generation: “How can the world evolve in ways that are socially inclusive, environmentally durable, and
financially viable?”. The course is aligned with the second UI GreenMetric Thematic Priority: Creating Global
Sustainability Leaders. It discusses the complex interplay between the economy, social life, and the planet’s
physical environment, as well as the consequences of human activities on the planet’s environment and the
solutions to face them. It contextualizes these challenges in different countries. The course has three main
objectives: by the end of the course, students are expected to have learned different theories and practices
of sustainability in various countries, met students and experts from different countries, and been inspired
to lead and practice sustainability in their contexts.

The course offers a flexible drop-off period during the first week, allowing students to reassess their
commitment. During the first two weeks of the course, students have the option to withdraw if they
decide not to continue. To do so, students must contact their course coordinator and clearly express their
intention to drop out. This communication should take place within the designated drop-off weeks.

COURSE SUPERVISION AND SUPPORT

During the study period, students will receive supervision and support from Tutors and Course
Coordinators to enhance their learning experience. Tutors are designated Professors who guide the student
in the group task. Each group will be supervised by two tutors. These tutors will provide mentorship and
facilitate discussions, helping students to navigate challenges and achieve their project objectives.
Meanwhile, Course Coordinators will oversee the progress of students from their respective universities,
monitoring their tasks and ensuring they stay on track with the course requirements. The course provides
Tutors and Coordinators who are available for students to report any issues related to their course
experience, ensuring a responsive and supportive learning environment. This collaborative support
structure aims to foster an engaging and productive learning environment for all participants.

COURSE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL

There are two main platforms used as communication channels during the course period:

WhatsApp: WhatsApp is used as an active and immediate channel for individual and group
communication between students, lecturers, supervisors, and tutors

Working in group was amazing for me as we got all our ideas on a plate and with
multiple meetings we got to share and come to a common point. Learn more about
our universities and different solutions followed in different universities. It was
amazing to know and work with people having the same internet around the world.

NISCHAYA SHRIYAN

I had a wider knowledge and understanding of the sustainable

development goals, I believe I can incorporate the information and
knowledge I gained into my daily life as well as in my projects as a
sustainable and renewable energy engineering student.

MOHAMMED ABDULLA ALBLOOSHI

Have the ability to understand the different criteria. These new skills and knowledge
have not only benefited me academically, but I am also excited to apply them in
practical situations and future projects. The course has been an enriching experience
that has strengthened my knowledge base and skills.

PALMIRA JOHANA NARVÁEZ GREFA

ESPOCH

I learned a lot about sustainability, and its importance, especially nowadays. We often
have a restricted view of what sustainability is and where it is applied, but the course
showed all the pillars of sustainability. With this, we can learn more about the global
agenda, sustainability in health, education and politics

João Augusto Brandão Baldassin

University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil

I think the working in group supported my learning process,thus I was working in my group
just me and my partner Bushra,also the other members they share with us sometimes , But I
find it useful for all of us, even if we rarely communicate at the same time.
