10 of the world's renowned mosques are son going to be powered by Solar energy in their attempt to go low-carbon

The step comes from the Ummah for Earth alliance at the COP26 which includes environmentalists and a few NGOs who will help 10 mosques in the world go green.
The initiative includes installing solar systems at ten key sites around the world and will also include a report with the technical details of the potential carbon savings that can be made with this effort, along with the economic, and social growth. It was developed by a team of researchers from the Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs at the American University of Beirut, and The Lebanese Foundation for Renewable Energy and the National Council for Scientific Research. The 10 mosques that will be going green are Al Haram Mosque – Mecca, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Al Hassan II Mosque – Casablanca, Morocco, Al Azhar Mosque – Cairo, Egypt, Glasgow Central Mosque – Glasgow, Scotland, Istiqlal Mosque – Jakarta, Indonesia, Al Nabawi Mosque – Medina, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Great Mosque of Algiers – Algiers, Algeria, Grand Jamia Mosque – Lahore, Pakistan
