The National Trust has warned that climate change poses a "tangible" threat to heritage sites across the UK, with a manager at the organisation saying recent summers have "brought home" the scale of the impact.
The warning reflects growing concern within the heritage sector about how shifting weather patterns are affecting historic properties, landscapes, and the natural environment the Trust is responsible for preserving.
Visible Effects
According to the National Trust, the effects of climate change have become increasingly apparent in recent years, with changing conditions during the summer months cited as a particular point of concern for those managing the sites.
The organisation has not detailed the full scope of adaptation measures it may take in response, though the comments point to an acknowledgement that current approaches to site management may need to evolve.
The National Trust is one of the UK's largest conservation charities, overseeing a wide range of historic buildings, gardens, and natural landscapes.
