uin	HL7359
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2022 answer text <p>Russia has shown a flagrant disregard for the principles of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), and for the commitments it has made through the organisation. However, continued Russian participation at the OSCE gives us the opportunity to call it out for its behaviour and encourage others to do the same. It also provides a channel for crisis communication, and keeps open a space for diplomacy.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/04/2022 13:55:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

As one of Turkey's closest international partners, the UK has emphasised repeatedly that this system poses a threat to NATO systems.

hansard heading	Climate Change: Water Supply
house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what recent assessment they have made of the scale of the threat to global security as a result of restricted access to water due to climate change; and what steps they are taking, together with international partners, to ensure that essential water resources are protected.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL7362
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2022 answer text <p>The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's latest report is clear that the effects of climate change have not been felt equally across the world, and this trend will continue. Water scarcity is one of the ways people are most likely to experience climate change. Our latest assessments can be found on the Knowledge For Development Water Learning Journey website (K4D Learning Journey on Water Security (ids.ac.uk)). They show that water can be a risk or threat multiplier for conflict and instability, and a trigger for conflict at the local level. Water shortages can compound existing fragilities and social stressors making conflict or migration more likely.</p><p>The UK recognises the importance of ensuring that countries most vulnerable to climate change can respond to the risks they face, including those related to water. We are supporting a number of initiatives that help to improve water security and from a range of angles including policy and regulation, investment, and water footprints.</p><p>For instance last week we launched the 'Al Murunah' project in the Middle East and North Africa region, the world's most water-scarce region. The project aims to increase water security through the integration of resilient nature-based solutions.</p><p>The UK also funds the Transboundary Water Programme, supporting countries in southern Africa to manage their shared water resources (rivers, lakes and groundwater) for economic development and contribute to climate resilience and poverty reduction.</p><p>In addition, we are funding the development and piloting of the new 'Water Tracker', led by the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation, which is being used by developing country governments to integrate water resilience within their national climate plans.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 01/04/2022 11:49:22 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
