BANGOR University is celebrating being named among the world’s most sustainable universities in the latest edition of an annual study.
Bangor was ranked the 15th most sustainable university on the planet in the 2021 UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, scoring a total of 8,600 (Wageningen University & Research, in first place, scored 9,300).
The rankings were based on aspects such as setting and infrastructure, energy and climate change, waste, water, transportation, and education and research.
A post on the university’s Facebook page read: “Great news, we've been ranked the 15th most sustainable University in the world at the 2021 UI GreenMetric World University Rankings!
“This news comes just days after we were also ranked ‘First Class’ in the People & Planet University Rankings.
“We are committed to sustainable development and global citizenship.
“We aim to promote sustainability in research, business and enterprise activities and we will continue to strive for further improvements in the coming years.”
Bangor was also the third-highest-ranked university in the UK, with only the University of Nottingham and Nottingham Trent University placed higher.
