Manage episode 474439043 series 3584016
Business-as-usual isn’t an option, when an organisation is responsible for safeguarding over 400 of the UK’s most iconic landmarks - many of which predate electricity, let alone climate change.
From the ancient boulders of Stonehenge to the windswept battlements of Hadrian’s Wall, English Heritage oversee sites that were never designed to cope with the environmental extremes we’re now facing. They are leading the charge to protect these sites from climate-related threats and ensure that sustainability is part of how English Heritage plan, preserve and operate at every level.
