My op-ed with Alan Nicol on why we need to reset our approach to the 'global water crisis'
The #UNWaterConference takes place in New York after 46 years.
We now inhabit a world of semi-permanent water crises with climate disruption & spiralling social inequalities.
Old assumptions about markets & individuals need to give way to ideas of collective action, equality, gender & intersectional justice, social & public goods.
