UI GreenMetric is a global university ranking system that evaluates institutional sustainability policies and performance across seven categories: setting and infrastructure, energy and climate change, waste, water, transportation, education and research, and governance and digitalization.
The 2026 edition covers 2,016 institutions across 110 countries, according to UI GreenMetric.
UNO-R said this was its first year participating in the UI GreenMetric rankings and that it is the only university in Bacolod City included in the 2026 global list. (UNO-R)
