University of Auckland leads list of 450 institutions supporting health, equality and other UN sustainable development goals
New Zealand’s University of Auckland in has taken first place on a new global impact ranking for its dedication to wellbeing, partnerships, gender equality and sustainable communities. The ranking, which lists of 450 universities from 76 countries, captures institutions’ success in supporting the United Nations’ sustainable development goals.
The table was put together by Times Higher Education (THE). Unlike the annual research and teaching performance tables the magazine is known for, the impact ranking doesn’t rank excellence or reputation. Instead, it focuses on how universities address global issues.
