Times Higher Education (THE) has released its Impact Rankings 2024, highlighting the top universities contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This year, over 2,150 universities from 125 countries were evaluated — making it the most diverse edition ever.

Unlike traditional rankings, THE Impact Rankings assess institutions based on:

• Quality Education (SDG 4)
• Gender Equality (SDG 5)
• Climate Action (SDG 13)
• Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17)
• ...and many more.

🔹 Key Highlights from the 2024 Rankings:

• Western Sydney University (Australia) once again took the #1 spot globally.
• Türkiye is represented by 80+ universities, with several making strong performances in SDG 4 and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure).
• Developing countries showed remarkable improvements, signaling a shift in global education dynamics.

Why It Matters for Students & Institutions:

✅ Students increasingly prefer institutions with a strong social and environmental impact.
