Congratulations to Nottingham Trent University (NTU) for being named as a Top 100 institution in the global Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings.
These rankings are the only performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and, in 2023, NTU has risen to joint 86th of 1,591 institutions worldwide.
Achieving a better and more sustainable future for all
Institutions submit their evidence to demonstrate how they are contributing to the SDGs which are a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
The SDGs include Zero Hunger, Good Health and Wellbeing, Clean Water and Sanitation, Affordable and Clean Energy, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Reduce Inequality, Sustainable Cities and Communities and Climate Action.
Impressive research, stewardship, outreach and teaching
As part of the rankings, THE provide comprehensive and balanced comparison across four broad areas: research, stewardship, outreach and teaching.
This year NTU saw its submission for ten SDGs place in the Top 100 institutions, with Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions and Partnership for the Goals achieving Top 20 positions.
