The members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) have for quite some time trying to diversify their economies as well as do their bit for climate change.
To that end, these countries have been trying to scale up their infrastructure to produce energy from renewable sources.
From solar farms to wind energy, the infrastructure is being put in place at varying paces by these nations.
