UI GreenMetric evaluates universities' activities in sustainable development and considers approaches to organizing university space, resource utilization, energy, transportation, education, scientific activities, and management.

This year, the evaluation has been conducted across 7 main categories.

The Governance and Digitalization category became a new component of the UI GreenMetric methodology in 2026, supplementing the six areas by which universities were previously evaluated.

Participation in UI GreenMetric allows the university not only to see its position among higher education institutions in Ukraine and the world but also to separately evaluate results across various components of sustainable development. The National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine demonstrates positive dynamics in UI GreenMetric, with gradual improvement in its ranking among Ukrainian universities and growth in results across several key areas. The obtained indicators make it possible to identify areas requiring further attention and to take them into account when developing university infrastructure, educational and research activities, and the management system.
