| Özet: | Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a fundamental role in promoting sustainable development and fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. This study analyzes the participation of Argentine HEIs in three international sustainability rankings: UI GreenMetric (UI-GM), THE Impact Rankings (THE-IR), and QS World University Rankings: Sustainability (QS-S). Using a quantitative and comparative approach, the positions and scores of Argentine universities in each ranking were evaluated, identifying key areas of strength and weakness in their performance.
The analysis focused on assessing key indicators such as natural resource management, energy, waste management, education and research, and their contribution to the SDGs. Additionally, public and private HEIs were compared by assessing differences in their sustainability performance.
The results reveal a significant disparity in the performance of Argentine HEIs across the rankings, suggesting that each ranking prioritizes different dimensions of sustainability. Institutions such as Public HEIs, such as the National University of Córdoba (UNC), the National University of Litoral (UNL), and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) demonstrated better overall performance compared to private institutions, partly due to greater access to resources and institutional sustainability policies. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between investment in sustainability education and research and operational performance at these HEIs during 2024.
The study concludes that Argentine HEIs have significant potential to improve their positioning in sustainability rankings through deeper integration of education, research, and sustainable operational management. Recommendations are proposed to optimize the HEIs' performance in these rankings, aligned with the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda. |
