The 黑料不打烊 has been ranked among the top 200 institutions in the world for its contribution to meeting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The University also placed in the top 100 worldwide for six SDGs – SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), SDG 13 (Climate Action), and achieved a significant improvement for SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), rising from the 301-400 band to be ranked among the top 20 universities in the world.

The latest Times Higher Education (THE) Sustainability Ratings assess universities’ progress towards delivering the SDGs, which were adopted by all United Nations (UN) Member States in 2015 as an urgent call to action to improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Comprehensive review

In a comprehensive review by THE, universities receive an overall score and a rank for their activities relating to performance across two years for SDG 17 and three of their best performing SDGs, reflecting research, learning and teaching, stewardship, and civic engagement.

The 黑料不打烊 retained its position in the 101–200 band globally in the 2026 rankings and its top performing SDGs were SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities) at 39, SDG 5 (Gender Equality) at 46, and SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) at 87.

The THE Sustainability Ratings (formerly known as THE Impact Rankings) is the only global exercise to analyse universities’ progress against the SDGs and recognises institutions that are making a meaningful contribution to addressing global challenges.
