[ 23/04/2015 ]
The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) is among the 100 best universities -more specifically, it is 63rd in the ranking- in the world, according to the fifth (2014's) edition of the GreenMetric index, which evaluates the environmental sustainability policies of higher education centres everywhere.
This ranking, created by the University of Indonesia (UI), classifies those centres according to six categories: energy efficiency and fight against climate change, waste management, water resources, infrastructure, promotion of clean transport, and environmental education.
The UPV, among the top 50 in resource management (15th), and in energy efficiency and fight against climate change (45th)
The UPV, which has become a solid member of the international environmental sustainability elite, is particularly outstanding in two categories: resource management, and energy efficiency and fighting climate change.
In the first of them, the UPV got 1,575 points in 2013, which in 2014 have become 1,725, an increase that makes the UPV the 15th best university in the world in this field. In terms of energy efficiency and fighting climate change, the UPV ranked 45th.
Furthermore, the UPV ranks among the top 100 regarding the promotion of clean transport (in this respect, it is 67th), and among the top 150 in environmental education (112th) and in the management of water resources (148th).
The UPV, the Valencian leader and Spain's fourth University
With 6,396 points in total, the UPV –having improved its results since 2013 in four of the six categories, while it remained stable in the fifth– is the best university in the land of València as regards environmental sustainability policies.
Moreover, the UPV ranked fourth out of 21 Spanish universities taken into account, only after the University of Alcalá and the autonomous universities of Madrid and Barcelona.
