22 August 2025 - UI GreenMetric successfully conducted its Second Regional Info Session for universities in Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia, responding to high demand from institutions in these regions that were unable to join the first session. The event drew participation from around 350 university leaders, sustainability officers, and academic professionals, reflecting the growing interest and engagement in campus sustainability practices across the Asia-Pacific.

This important session served as a platform to introduce the latest developments in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, foster dialogue on methodology, and support collaboration among regional universities committed to achieving global sustainability targets.

The session was officially opened by Dr. Vishnu Juwono, S.E., M.A., Chairperson of UI GreenMetric, who underscored the importance of regional partnerships in scaling up sustainability efforts. He commended the strong enthusiasm from institutions in the Asia-Pacific, highlighting their vital role in leading sustainable transformation in higher education.

Sabrina Hikmah, Coordinator of Program, Communication, and Partnership at UI GreenMetric, delivered the main presentation, offering a comprehensive overview of the UI GreenMetric methodology, its core indicators, and key updates for the upcoming 2025 ranking cycle. Her presentation also outlined how universities can align their sustainability efforts with broader frameworks such as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The session was entirely moderated by Jauzak Hussaini W., who served as Master of Ceremony (MC) from start to finish. With his effective moderation, he ensured the session proceeded smoothly and encouraged active participation from the audience.

One of the highlights of the session was the interactive Q&A, where attendees submitted a wide range of insightful questions related to the UI GreenMetric methodology, data reporting practices, and strategies for improving campus sustainability. The richness of the questions demonstrated the participants’ deep interest and readiness to enhance their institutions’ contributions to sustainability.

This second info session reaffirms UI GreenMetric’s ongoing commitment to inclusivity and collaboration, providing universities in all regions equal opportunity to engage and contribute to the global sustainability movement.

UI GreenMetric encourages all universities in Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia to participate in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings 2025, and to continue building momentum towards a more sustainable, inclusive, and environmentally responsible future in higher education.
