“…Universities are also seen to have the capacity to anticipate change and to be proactive [36]. The issues of energy use and waste generation are highlighted by the large population of associate, undergraduate, and graduate students at universities in this country, including Bursa Uluda g University (67,173), Marmara University (66,747), Akdeniz University (64,037), Selçuk University (63,221), Ankara University (61,318), Dokuz Eylül University (61,073), Kocaeli University (60,777), Istanbul University (59,900), Atatürk University (58,122), and Ege University (55,158). These numbers refer only to those in face-to-face education and do not include distance and open learning students; according to YÖK statistics, the total number of students in formal education in Turkey is 3,752,475 [37].…”

“…The CRITIC approach has been applied in various fields, including university rankings, to assess the performance of universities based on multiple criteria [53][54][55]. The entropy approach has been used in university rankings to determine the importance of different criteria in evaluating the performance of universities [56][57][58]. The SDD approach is a statistical measure that quantifies the dispersion or variability of a set of values.…”

The concept of sustainability has become more important, especially as a result of the depletion of energy resources and increasing environmental concerns. UI GreenMetric ranks universities based on sustainability, environmental, and energy concerns, addressing issues of environmental pollution, food and water scarcity, and energy supply. By prioritizing sustainability on their campuses and campuses, universities are working to ensure a more sustainable future for humanity. This study evaluates university sustainability in energy and climate change using the UI GreenMetric ranking, focusing on Turkish universities’ sustainability ranking. It incorporates variables like infrastructure, energy, climate change, waste, water, public transportation, and educational research, using weighting approaches to reveal the most important variables for the country’s universities. The study utilized weighting techniques like CRITIC, entropy, standard deviation-based, and equal weighting approaches to obtain rankings for UI GreenMetric rankings. Entropy and equal weighting methods were found to be closest to the UI GreenMetric rankings. Universities’ rankings were analyzed using the TOPSIS method and four weighting techniques for 83 Turkish universities. For Turkish universities, the CRITIC method yielded the highest weight for energy and climate change variables, while water was identified as the most significant factor for entropy, installation infrastructure, and standard deviation-based weighting techniques.
