From climate change to health to conflict, access to water remains one of the most pressing issues globally. Nearly 1 in 10 people around the world don't have readily available access to clean water.
The consequences of climate change are worsening this, as floods contaminate fragile water sources and droughts dry up springs and wells.
To mark World Water Day, I joined with WaterAid UK to champion the fight for clean water worldwide.
The fight against climate change should not be a partisan issue. I hope that it remains a priority for MPs in the future, no matter what side of the floor they may sit, and that they will continue to champion the fight for clean water worldwide.
