History
The UI GreenMetric World Rankings began in 2010 with increasing popularity and influence to become a benchmark for continuous improvements concerning sustainability. By 2015, the project has shown massive improvements by introducing metrics for carbon footprints and a systematic data collection system. In 2016, UI GreenMetric started to coordinate with national partners following the implementation of the program into policy. They have since developed more partnerships and have placed coordinators in many countries to assist with the expansion of this concept. They currently have 18 offices Asia, Europe, and Australia to start, and will utilize these locations to help coordinate more universities to become involved as well as collaborate with other members so they can share their accomplishments and substantial changes with each other.
