Lund University has climbed to first place in the world in the QS World University Rankings: Sustainability 2026. The ranking includes around 2,000 higher education institutions from about 100 countries and measures how universities contribute to a sustainable future – through research, education, and the way they operate as organisations.

“Humble, proud, and inspired to continue moving forward – that’s how I would summarise the feeling that Lund University is now ranked number one in the world. It is a fantastic recognition of our work and confirmation that we are on the right path. I am incredibly proud of our staff, students, alumni, and all the organisations and companies we collaborate with – the success belongs just as much to them as to the university,” says Erik Renström, Vice-Chancellor of Lund University.
