Özet

International indices developed for university campuses have been examined. The targets set separately under 17 headings of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals have been seen as indicators in the process of realising these goals; they have assumed a key role with their ability to disseminate and adopt new ideas as well as their education and research opportunities. In recent years, indices such as UI GreenMetric and Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings, QS, URAP, STARS have been developed, and among the evaluation criteria of these indices, the initiatives implemented by universities in line with the Sustainable Development Goals are also included. The existence of various indices that evaluate these goals has increased the visibility of universities' initiatives, created a space for comparing the achievements in this field, and strengthened the awareness and motivation of many universities. It is also important for responding to the environmental problems emphasised by the Talloires Declaration. Within the scope of this study, UI GreenMetric and Times Higher Education Impact Rankings, QS, URAP indexes, which also examine Sustainable Development Goals, were analysed. The participation of universities in Turkey in these indexes has been analysed. Thus, the sustainability performances of universities in Turkey and universities in the world are analysed.
