Climate Change Disasters Will Displace More And More. Those Who Are Most Exposed Are The Poorest.

I Have Been Working, As Emergency Relief Coordinator, On An International Scale, Very Hard To Build A Wider Alliance Of Partners In Assistance Efforts.

We Need Better Coordination On The International Side, Just As They Need Better And More Effective Efforts On The Somali Side. We Have Too Many Reconstruction And Development Assistance Plans.
