CatSU gears up for UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2023

Catanduanes State University (CatSU) is gearing up to participate in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2023, set to be announced in December 2023.

Led by Prof. Zyra Mae T. Tumala, the Director of the Center for International Relations and Continuing Professional Development Services (CIRCPDS), a meeting was held on April 25, 2023, where the guidelines, methodology, and questionnaire were presented.

The meeting also identified the adequacy or inadequacy of evidence and documents, and the formulation of working committees for the UI GreenMetric 2023 Task Force.

CatSU key officials headed by President Dr. Patrick Alain T. Azanza attended the said event.

“We are creating the future of CatSU. We are doing our best to give the best to our students and our community. And putting CatSU on the world map is one thing that we can achieve if we work together. It is our collective effort that will bring us to this goal,” Dr. Azanza said.

The UI GreenMetric World University Ranking is a ranking of green campus and environmental sustainability initiated by Universitas Indonesia in 2010. The ranking is determined through 39 indicators in 6 criteria, which evaluate universities' environmental commitment and initiatives.

The vision of UI GreenMetric World University Rankings is to be an open and respected world university ranking, which brings sustainable impacts to universities around the world. Its missions are to organize annual world university rankings on sustainability, encourage sustainability practices in universities worldwide, provide sustainability-related services for universities worldwide, and facilitate international partnership on sustainability.

UI GreenMetric World University Rankings recognized the need for a uniform system appropriate for universities worldwide, based on a numerical score that would allow ranking. The system would allow comparisons between universities' rankings based on their commitment to addressing issues of sustainability and environmental impact. The ranking system uses 39 indicators and 6 criteria: Setting and Infrastructure (SI), Energy and Climate Change (EC), Waste (WS), Water (WR), Transportation (TR), and Education (ED).

"We will be the ones who will put our university on the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, and I am certain we can do this," said Dr. Lily P. Custodio, Executive Vice President.  #FJBT
