Article in Bergens Tidende (Bergen, Norway), 11 December 2007
Kronikk i Bergens Tidende, 11. desember 2007
And as is so often the case, it is the poor who are hardest hit.
Og som i så mange sammenhenger er de som rammes hardest de som allerede er svakest stilt.
During the course of 2007, the number of people living in cities will for the first time in human history exceed those living in rural areas.
I løpet av 2007 vil det for første gang i menneskehetens historie bo flere folk i byer, enn på landsbygda.
They are becoming more complex, regardless of whether they are natural or man-made.
Krisene blir mer komplekse, uavhengig av om det er naturen eller menneskene som skaper dem.
People in developing countries are most at risk.
Mennesker i utviklingsland er mest sårbare.
And to an increasing extent, crises are recurring in countries that are unable to protect their own populations.
Og katastrofene gjentar seg i stadig sterkere omfang i land som mangler kapasitet og evne til å beskytte sin egen sivilbefolkning.
Emergency relief will of course continue to play a role, and our experience enables us to make effective contributions, particularly through the many Norwegian NGOs that specialise in this area.
Det skal selvsagt være fortsatt kapasitet til å hjelpe, og Norge har erfaring til å gi effektive bidrag, blant annet gjennom mange av våre frivillige nødhjelpsorganisasjoner.
However, the international community needs to become better at disaster risk reduction.
Men det internasjonale samfunn må bli dyktigere til å forebygge.
This is the line of thought running through the white paper on the prevention of humanitarian crises that the Government submitted to the Storting on Friday 7 December 2007.
Dette er den røde tråden i Stortingsmeldingen om forbygging av humanitære katastrofer som Regjeringen la frem fredag 7. desember.
We need to establish long-term cooperation with the UN, the international financial institutions and the authorities in countries affected by disasters.
Vi må etablere langsiktig samarbeid med FN og de internasjonale finansinstitusjonene og med myndigheter i landene som rammes av katastrofer.
We need to support the exchange of knowledge and experience between countries in the South.
Vi må støtte samarbeid om kunnskaps- og erfaringsutveksling mellom land i sør.
The Government wants to erase the sharp divide between short- and long-term assistance: between humanitarian aid and long-term development cooperation.
Regjeringen vil bryte ned de skarpe skillene mellom kort- og langsiktig bistand – mellom humanitær innsats og langsiktig utviklingssamarbeid.
Local groups must be put in a position to provide vital initial assistance.
Lokale krefter må settes i stand til å gjøre den avgjørende innsatsen.
Those who are most familiar with day-to-day life in the local community are best placed to help in a crisis.
De som kjenner lokalsamfunnet best i hverdagen kan ta seg best frem når det er krise.
This applies as much to Norwegian mountain rescue volunteers as to local volunteers along the coast of Bangladesh.
Det er like sant for hjelpekorpsene i norske fjell som lokale krefter langs kysten av Bangladesh.
We know that crises far away also affect us.
Samtidig vet vi at kriser som finner sted langt bort angår også oss.
We also see that complex crises increasingly hit countries that are in conflict; these are often societies where governance and administrative capacity are weak.
Vi ser at komplekse kriser i økende grad rammer land i konflikt, samfunn hvor myndighetene ofte har liten styringsevne og forvaltningskapasitet.
Environmental and climate change and increased migration may further weaken fragile states, thus creating fertile ground for new conflicts.
Klima- og miljøendringer og økt migrasjon kan føre til ytterligere svekking av sårbare stater og gi grobunn for nye konflikter.
Humanitarian disasters and extensive migration can also pose a threat to our own security, and we are pleased that the UN Security Council has put this issue on the agenda.
Vi er glade for at FNs sikkerhetsråd har satt dette temaet på dagsorden.
It is the most disadvantaged who are hardest hit by disasters of this kind.
De som hardest av denne typen kriser er de som allerede er svakest stilt.
There are currently around 850 million people suffering from malnutrition worldwide.
Rundt 850 millioner mennesker lider allerede i dag av underernæring.
An increase in global temperatures of just one to two degrees will cause more drought, desertification and extreme weather events.
En temperaturøkning på bare 1-2 grader vil føre til økt tørke, forørkning og mer ekstremvær.
Even small changes in the climate can dramatically increase malnutrition.
Små klimaendringer kan gi en dramatisk økning i antallet underernærte.
Chronic food shortages and hunger are huge problems that can only be solved through coordinated preventive measures; they cannot be addressed through crisis response and short-term food aid alone.
Det kan bare løses gjennom koordinerte, forebyggende tiltak – ikke gjennom kriseløsninger og kortsiktig matvarehjelp.
So how can we improve coordination between the different approaches and create long-term food security?
Hvordan får vi til en bedre samordning mellom de ulike virkemidlene slik at vi skaper varig matvaresikkerhet?
The answer, once again, is risk reduction.
Igjen er svaret forebygging.
Due to effective early warning systems and well organised crisis response, there were significantly fewer victims following the hurricane Sidr in Bangladesh in November this year compared with previous years.
Tapstallene i Bangladesh etter orkanen Sidr i november i år var vesentlig lavere enn tidligere år på grunn av god varsling og organisering.
In October, China evacuated around 1.4 million people in its south-eastern regions in connection with the typhoon Krosa, which caused flooding and widespread material damage.
I oktober evakuerte Kina rundt 1,4 millioner mennesker i de sørøstlige delene av landet i forbindelse med tyfonen Krosa, som forårsaket oversvømmelser og store materielle ødeleggelser.
There were no reported fatalities.
Det ble ikke rapportert om omkomne.
The tsunami warnings in South Asia in September demonstrated that the early warning systems work, and that local populations in coastal areas know what to do in the event of an undersea earthquake.
Tsunamivarslene i Sør-Asia i september viste at varslingssystemene fungerer, og at lokalbefolkningen i kystområdene vet hvordan den skal opptre i forbindelse med undersjøiske jordskjelv.
We are also seeing the results of long-term peace and reconciliation efforts, and of efforts to eradicate weapons like landmines and cluster munitions that have unacceptable humanitarian consequences.
Vi ser resultatene av langsiktig innsats for fred og forsoning og av fjerning av inhumane våpen som landminer og klaseammunisjon.
We now have the experience, resources and technology to make a difference.
Vi har i dag erfaring, ressurser og teknologi som kan gjøre en forskjell.
We are better able to predict where natural disasters will occur, thanks to ever more accurate risk and vulnerability analyses.
Vi kan langt på vei forutsi hvor naturkatastrofene vil inntreffe ved hjelp av stadig bedre risiko- og sårbarhetsanalyser.
We have considerable insight into political developments in fragile states.
Vi sitter på betydelig informasjon om den politiske utviklingen i sårbare stater.
Risk reduction, preparedness and reconstruction are first and foremost the responsibility of national authorities, but international organisations and donor countries like Norway can also play an important role by providing expertise and financial support.
Forebygging, beredskap og gjenoppbygging er i første rekke nasjonale myndigheters ansvar, men internasjonale organisasjoner og giverland som Norge kan spille en viktig rolle, både faglig og finansielt.
The Government is already well under way with this task.
Den jobben er Regjeringen nå godt i gang med.
Crises must be prevented
Vi kan forebygge kriser
