- - For example, the appearance of the exterior sandbag cladding on part of the
    build resembles a duvet. The sandbags contain a mixture of sand, cement and
    lime. It is anticipated that the hessian sandbags will eventually rot away to
    leave a wall of rippling, uneven concrete with a cloth imprint.

  clean technologies on large scales, such as the installation of 1 million
  2-megawatt wind turbines.

- The goal of climate mitigation is to avoid dangerous human-caused impacts, which
  science suggests would mean limiting total warming to 2 °C above preindustrial
  temperatures. In turn, this would require keeping atmospheric concentrations of
  carbon dioxide below 450 parts per million
