Pope Francis orders installation of solar plant in Vatican City to address climate change.

Pope Francis orders solar plant to power Vatican City, tackling climate change. Pope Francis, a long-time advocate for environmental protection, has ordered the Vatican to install a solar plant that will provide electricity to the entire city state as an effort to combat climate change. The "agrivoltaic" plant, combining solar energy production and agriculture, will be constructed in Santa Maria di Galeria, an extraterritorial area of Vatican land north of Rome. The solar energy generated will be sufficient to fuel not only the radio operations at the site but also the entire Vatican City State.
