The award ceremony took place on December 5 in Dubai. Professor Jutta Günther, Rector of the University of Bremen, was present with a video message. "Sustainability is the guiding principle of the University of Bremen. I am very pleased about our good performance in the global sustainability ranking of universities. We have been taking part in this since 2012 and have been able to continuously improve our position. This is an incentive for us to continue to stand up for sustainability, climate justice and climate neutrality," she said.

The "UI GreenMetric World University Ranking" has been carried out annually since 2010 by Universitas Indonesia, the largest state university in Indonesia. A comprehensive, detailed list of criteria evaluates the participating universities in six categories: Settling and Infrastructure, Energy and Climate Change, Waste, Water, Transportation and Education and Research.

Participation in the ranking is voluntary and the results are published publicly at greenmetric.ui.ac.id
