Abstract
The Times Higher Education Impact Rankings provide an invaluable framework for assessing the contribution of universities to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As the global higher education sector increasingly aligns itself with the SDGs, UK universities face a unique opportunity and responsibility to demonstrate how their research, teaching, and community engagement are advancing societal and environmental sustainability.
The first analysis of its kind, this white paper examines UK participation and performance in the Impact Rankings and delves into how UK universities are performing. It It aims to give tangible examples of best practise in areas across all 17 SDGs and identifies areas for improvement.
By examining key metrics and mapping them against the SDGs, it also offers a comprehensive understanding of how universities can leverage these rankings to drive positive change both at a local and global level.
