International Organizations, Eastern Canada, Northeast of United States and Mid- Atlantic
A recent occurrence that resulted due to global climatic change is the Hurricane Sandy which happened towards the end of October 2012. It devastated parts of the Caribbean, Eastern Canada, Northeast of United States and Mid- Atlantic. Losses that have arisen due to Hurricane Sandy have been estimated to be about 50 billion US dollars. In the seven countries that fell in the path of the storm, it was found out that at least 209 people were killed. As a result of such occurrences, the regional and global, international organizations, which are involved in both the political and economic aspects of life, should be able to arrange a global response that is effective (Weiss, Forsythe, Coate, & Pease, 2009, p. 19).So far, very little has been done as these effects of global climatic change are so rampant and occur frequently compared to previous centuries. These international organizations face a number of weaknesses that hinder them from effectively dealing with problems such as global climatic change, civil wars, poverty and disease.
As most organizations, the international organization has two major kinds of stakeholders. These include the stakeholders who act as the core of the organization, with members who control it formally.
The second type of the stakeholders are those citizens who are exterior to the institute and do not have any form of authority concerning the decisions made, though they are affected directly by any actions or decisions of the organization. International organizations have a great deal of responsibilities in the countries which are elements of their membership. Unfortunately, there is little room for citizens in each of these countries to make their contribution in concerning decision making. It is had also been found out that of all nations that are in membership with international organizations, darned few nations participate in the making of decisions. This is a major weakness because there is a belief that the inhabitants of a given nation are very well familiar to the problems of their nation more than an outsider is, and they are able to tackle it in their own way(Finnemore & Barnett, 2004, pp. 6-7). These organizations should ensure that each and every nation that is in the organization should be involved in the crucial stage of decision making.

[...] Corruption leads to favors, where some nations are favored in relation to others. Through corruption, funds that were meant to aid a certain country will end up being used for selfish gain.All organizations should practice transparency in order to fight corruption. Transparency is the easiest way in which an organization can develop pressure on politics, with information that is relevant to activities and policies of the organization. This will enable the internal, as well as the external stake holders, to take in hand an organization that they are able to account foreffectively. [...]
[...] In some developing countries, people still practice deforestation, leaving a land once known as green and fertile to become a semi desert. This leads to drought, hunger and also poverty. These problems are like a chain as one leads to the other. International organizations should,therefore, come up with ways to manage their budget so that they may be able to spread their wings to developing countries together with the required stimulation and financial support they need(Burall & Neligan, n.d., p. 16). Another weakness that is experienced by most of the international organizations is the issue of corruption. [...]
