NGOs have played a major role in environmental protection work and a United Nations study found that climate changes cost the world $80 billion in 2003.

Beware the predator
Article Abstract:
Some non-government organizations (NGOs) represent social engineering at its worst as they continue to boom in the Third World, as it took one NGO to blow the whistle on child laborers who sewed Pakistan's footballs, but it took another to show that the ban drove a family-based cottage industry into corporate hands. Most successful NGO efforts are better organized in developing countries.
