Politicians and policymakers are not the only ones descending on Glasgow for the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference. Artists are also leaving their marks. Works of art designed to spark dialogue about the climate crisis are popping up around the city. One of the biggest statements is The Hope Sculpture, a 23 m high installation by British designer Steuart Padwick built with Holcim’s ECOPact Max green concrete.
