The Richard Dimbleby Lecture 2009

The Richard Dimbleby Lecture 2009, showing Wednesday July 8th on BBC 1 at 10:35pm

The Prince Of Wales delivers the annual Richard Dimbleby Lecture at St James's Palace, the 33rd lecture held in honour of the veteran broadcaster, who died in 1965.

The heir to the throne, who turned 60 last November, has become well known for identifying key issues ahead of mainstream public thinking, such as encouraging organic food production or emphasising the importance of inter-faith dialogue.

He has created over 20 charities and six social enterprises aimed at topics as diverse as promoting youth opportunity, encouraging corporate social responsibility and protecting the natural environment.

In this keynote lecture he will set out some of the serious challenges which the world now faces and explore how some of these issues could be tackled in the years ahead.

Other previous Richard Dimbleby lecturers include Bill Clinton, General Sir Mike Jackson, Dame Stella Rimington and Dr Rowan Williams.
