The Svalbard Global Seed Vault was created by the Norwegian government in order to preserve the seeds of plants, particularly those important to agriculture, to immortalise the diversity of species in the face of a changing climate and unstable politics. Ironically, because of the changing climate, the vault flooded recently, and although none of the samples were damaged, a hint of doubt was brought over this vault preserving hope for our uncertain future.

One of the most commonplace materials of the modern world, concrete has a large carbon footprint, contributing to around 5% of yearly manmade CO2 emissions, placing it as the second-largest contributor, behind fossil fuels.
