UCC President, Professor John O鈥橦alloran, MRIA, presented the story of UCC鈥檚 sustainability journey at the 11th International Workshop on UI GreenMetric, which took place at the Universit茅 C么te d鈥橝zur in June.

The UI GreenMetric World 深夜亚洲福利久久 Rankings, initiated by Universitas Indonesia in 2010, is a global effort to assess and promote sustainability practices in universities around the world. The annual International Workshop on UI GreenMetric supports universities to share their sustainability achievements through cooperation and sharing of best practice to drive impactful change. This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淒oing Sustainable Development Goals in Higher Education: The Story of Our Institution and Society,鈥� brought together university rectors, institutional leaders, and sustainability experts to share inspiring stories of how their campuses are actively contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At this workshop, Professor O鈥橦alloran shared the story of UCC鈥檚 sustainability journey over more than a quarter of a century to become the 4^th most sustainable university in the world in the UI GreenMetric Rankings. He described how the sustainability ecosystem at UCC builds on a successful people-centred blend of top-down, bottom-up and middle-out approaches in the delivery of institutional competencies to advance sustainability. This has proven to be an effective approach that includes students, staff and leadership, and ensures representation of stakeholders working at all levels, resulting in an authentic whole-university approach.

During this event, Professor O鈥橦alloran was presented with the 2024 award for 4^th in the UI GreenMetric ranking 0f 2024.
