The National Trust (NT) has released a blog post that suggests ‘Apathy towards our world heritage poses a greater risk to it than climate change, war and conflict, bad planning or natural disasters’, responding to the latest report from International National Trusts Organisation (INTO) on global heritage.
According to NT, the greatest risks (five key threats) to global heritage are as follows:
- Planning and development
- Climate change and natural disasters
- War and conflict
- Insufficient funding
- Public awareness and attitudes towards the value of heritage
The blog has a commentary on how these issues apply closer to home, and discussion on world heritage issues.
