As Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme, I have seen firsthand the devastation and heartbreak caused by disasters around the world. Since the beginning of the century, more than a million people have died in storms like Hagupit and other major disasters, such as the 2010 Haitian earthquake, with economic damage totaling nearly $2 trillion.
作为联合国发展计划署（United Nations Development Program）署长，我在第一现场目睹过全球灾难所造成的破坏和悲伤。本世纪以来，有一百多万人因为黑格比和其他大灾难而丧生&mdash;&mdash;如2010年的海地地震，造成的总经济损失接近2万亿美元。
