University of Indonesia (UI) has been ranked 22nd out of 142 universities according to a recent study on environmentally-friendly campuses.
“UI was the only Indonesian university in the top 30 green universities around the globe,” the university said in a press statement as quoted by kompas.com on Wednesday.
Universities from 42 countries participated in the “UI Greenmetric of World Universities 2011”, a global research project aimed at promoting environmental awareness.
The greenest campus on Earth was the University of Nottingham, Britain, according to the survey, followed by Northwestern University and the University of Connecticut, both in the US.
UI rector Gumilar Rusliwa Soemantri said that the research project had been used as a benchmark by many universities around the globe to improve the quality of their environments.
