Experts worry about the pace of government policy responses. ==> Explore a chronology of ten major ecological disasters in which multinational corporations were involved in industrial incidents in this CFR Ecological Disaster Slideshow. GLOBAL HEALTH CHALLENGES CFR's newly launched public health component of the Global Governance Monitor examines public health efforts around the globe, which continue to be undermined by pollution, pandemics, conflict, and limited food production. ==> This Working Paper, sponsored by CFR's International Institutions and Global Governance Program, examines the complicated landscape of global health governance, assesses the capabilities of existing institutions, and recommends more effective strategies for policy implementation.

He says Washington is contacting international governments and is sending more aid, including helicopters to assist in relief efforts.
