For environmental impact, the ranking examines environmental education, research and sustainability. For social impact, it looks at employability and outcomes, equality, health and well-being, impact of education and knowledge exchange. And for governance, the ranking evaluates indicators of good governance such as student representation and transparent financial reporting.</p> <p>New data points introduced this year include net-zero commitments, renewable energy generation and citations of scholarly research in policy documents.</p> <p>UU直播鈥檚 exceptional global performance headlined a strong showing by Canada, which had two universities in the top five and three in the top 10 鈥 more than any other country (the University of British Columbia ranked fourth and Western University ranked 10th).</p> <p>The QS sustainability ranking comes amid several high-profile sustainability initiatives across UU直播鈥檚 three campuses in recent years.</p> <p>On the St. George campus, UU直播 has implemented a number of infrastructure projects aimed at achieving the goal of <a href="https://climatepositive.utoronto.ca/images/UT Climate Positive FIN Web.pdf">becoming climate-positive by 2050</a> 鈥 a goal it now expects to reach well ahead of schedule <a href="/news/u-t-s-plan-become-climate-positive-expanded-all-three-campuses">and has since been expanded to UU直播 Mississauga and UU直播 Scarborough</a>.

The campus has a high-tech geothermal system beside the Instructional Centre and is actively expanding the use of solar energy across its buildings. UU直播 Mississauga also launched Project SHIFT, an initiative to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to electricity.</p> <p>UU直播 Scarborough, too, has placed sustainability at the forefront of curricula, partnerships and planning through initiatives supported by its <a href="https://www.utsc.utoronto.ca/sustainability/">Sustainability Office</a>.

All data comes from third-party sources, not from the institutions themselves.</p> <p>More than 1,200 institutions were ranked across 48 subjects this year. To compile this year's results, QS analyzed over 22 million papers, which produced close to 200 million citations.&nbsp;</p> <p>UU直播鈥檚 ranking improved in 22 subjects this year, spanning a range of disciplines: arts and humanities; engineering and technology; life sciences and medicine; natural sciences; and social sciences and management.&nbsp;In modern languages, for example, UU直播 climbed nine spots to 21<sup>st</sup> place.
