FORWARD The Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings are unique global performance tables designed to assess universities' efforts in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the 2030 Agenda. These rankings consider a university's impact across several critical domains: teaching (through curriculum and pedagogy), stewardship (operational practices and sustainability initiatives), research, and outreach (engagement with broader communities and policy influence). Since its launch in 2019, interest in THE Impact Rankings has surged, reflecting a growing emphasis on universities' roles in fostering sustainable development. Isra university actively contribute to various initiatives that align with the SDGs. At the Isra we work to promote sustainable practices across various departments and collaborate with stakeholders to implement projects aimed at reducing our environmental footprint. By fostering awareness and providing resources for sustainable practices, we help create a culture of sustainability within the campus community. All efforts focus on both immediate impact and long-term strategies to meet our sustainability targets, supporting a responsible and environmentally conscious academic environment. Isra University is actively committed to advancing sustainability through a focused effort on five key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These selected goals align with our institution's values and areas of expertise, fostering impactful research, education, and community engagement. With a forward-looking approach, we aim to build on this foundation by broadening our commitment to additional SDGs, ensuring that our contributions continue to grow and drive meaningful, long-term changes. This is our first annual sustainability report noting our ongoing work across teaching, research, operations and partnership pertinent to the broad requirement of SDGs and our pursuit to overcome many challenges that we encountered along the road. Although it is our first report, sustainability is embedded into our strategy, actions and achievements tracks for many years before this report. This report will highlight activities related to the year 2023 (2022-2023) as well as the 2023-2024.
