Championing sustainability in higher education

University of the Sunshine Coast

Impacting a sustainable future

As a university committed to leading the way in sustainability, we focus on teaching and research that creates the most significant impacts for our regions and communities. We know what we do today will significantly affect our future.

So we were incredibly proud of how UniSC placed in the 2023 Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, the only global performance tables that assess universities against the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Out of the overall ranking which includes 1,591 universities from 112 countries and regions, UniSC placed:

  • Equal 29th in the world overall
  • 3rd in the world for SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation
  • 3rd in Australia for SDG 14 – Life Below Water
  • 5th in Australia for SDG 15 – Life on Land
  • 1st in Queensland for SDG 13 – Climate Action
Here are just some of our initiatives that helped UniSC achieve these results:
