Find out what universities are doing to become more sustainable, and how you can get involved in
environmental issues as a student.
If you look at the QS World University Rankings1 2011/12, you’ll see that the University of Cambridge is ranked the number one university not just in the UK, but in the world. Yet according to another ranking, Cambridge is at number 68 – just in the UK.
That’s according to the Green League compiled by People and Planet (P&P), a coalition of UK students dedicated to holding universities to account on environmental and ethical issues. Green university rankings are growing in prominence, as both students and universities place more importance on environmental responsibility.
