QS Sustainability Rankings places Kyushu University 3rd in Japan

A new “sustainability” ranking has been added this year to the QS World University Rankings to show how universities are taking action to tackle the world’s greatest environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges, and Kyushu U ranked 3rd among Japanese universities and 181–190th worldwide.

There are two categories for the rankings: environmental impact and social impact. Kyushu U performed particularly well in the environmental impact category largely in part to its sustainable development research related to energy and biological resources.

All efforts to achieve the SDGs on campus are presented on the Kyushu University × SDGs website, and the complete rankings can be found on the QS Sustainability Rankings 2023 website.
