Istiqlal Mosque is one of the biggest mosques in the world. In Indonesia, where it is located, it is also considered as a prominent building with a long history and as a national treasure. Istiqlal has recently received Final EDGE Certification in February 2022. To celebrate this achievement, IFC together with Badan Pengelola Masjid Istiqlal (BPMI) will have a hand-over ceremony on April 6th.

The ceremonial event will be a hybrid event with limited invitation from Istiqlal, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, Waskita Karya and Green Building Council Indonesia. To reach a wider audience and to educate the public about the implementation of green building standards in a worship building, an online/virtual webinar will be held following the ceremony, inviting building professionals, academics and students to participate.
