Lecture synopsis:The National Trust has always been an organisation that responds to the threats of the time, and this is no different in the 21st Century. A changing climate, the expectations of a fast-moving world and the pressures of development, mean heritage and nature are under greater threat now than ever before.

This lecture explored the challenges facing the Trust; how it responds to economic, environmental and societal change; and what the nation needs from the National Trust in the 21st Century.
