We are applying this approach to speak out on our views on human rights violations and the situation regarding freedom of expression and religion – before, during and after the Olympic Games in August.
Det gjør vi for å si fra om vårt syn på menneskerettighetsbrudd og situasjonen for ytringsfrihet og religionsfrihet – både før, under og etter De olympiske leker i august.
And we are applying it now as we are allowed access to the severely affected earthquake areas in China with humanitarian assistance.
Og det benytter vi i disse dager når vi slipper til med humanitær støtte til de hardt prøvede jordskjelvområdene i Kina.
There is growing focus on corporate social responsibility, both at the political level and in the business sector itself.
Næringslivets samfunnsansvar får stadig større oppmerksomhet både politisk og for næringslivet selv.
We are seeing that companies that operate in accordance with sound ethical and environmentally sustainable principles are able to strengthen their market position and sharpen their competitive edge both at home and abroad.
Vi ser at bedrifter som evner å innrette sin virksomhet etter gode etiske og miljømessig bærekraftige prinsipper, kan styrke sin markedsposisjon og konkurransekraft både ute og hjemme.
Corporate social responsibility, which has an important foreign policy dimension, will be dealt with in a white paper to be presented to the Storting during the course of the year.
Næringslivets samfunnsansvar har derfor en viktig utenrikspolitisk dimensjon, og vil bli drøftet i en egen stortingsmelding som fremlegges i løpet av året.
Our world is suffering from a lack of political will and ability to find modern solutions to a great many serious challenges.
Vår verden sliter med et underskudd på politisk vilje og evne til å finne moderne løsninger på en lang rekke store utfordringer.
Nor is there political will to implement known – but demanding – solutions.
Det mangler politisk vilje til å ta i bruk løsninger som er kjente – men som er krevende.
This applies particularly to the will to enable international governing bodies – with the UN at the centre – to act effectively.
Ikke minst gjelder det viljen til å gjøre de internasjonale styringsorganene – med FN i sentrum – i stand til effektiv handling.
In this era of globalisation, we are now facing a new generation of challenges where the old solutions no longer work, and innovation and new resolve are needed.
I vår globale tidsalder møter vi en ny generasjon utfordringer der de kjente løsninger ikke duger, og der nytenkning og ny handling trengs.
It has to do with mobilising a determination that is fostered by a sense of community.
Det handler om å mobilisere den handlekraften som følger av opplevelsen av fellesskap.
With the realisation that until the fight against poverty is won, very little else matters.
Om at før kampen mot fattigdom vinnes, blir veldig lite annet viktig.
The world needs a new world trade agreement.
Verden trenger en ny avtale for verdenshandelen.
The global economy needs the impetus of a breakthrough in the WTO negotiations.
Verdensøkonomien hadde trengt stimulansen fra et gjennombrudd i WTO-forhandlingene.
This would also give poor countries the regulated access to markets they need.
Det hadde også gitt de fattige landene den ordnede tilgang til markeder som de trenger.
It is uncertain whether there is sufficient political will to conclude the round, but Norway is prepared to do its part.
Hvorvidt det er tilstrekkelig politisk vilje globalt sett til å avslutte runden er usikkert, men Norge er rede til å bidra.
The world needs progress on disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Verden trenger fremskritt innen nedrustning, rustningskontroll og ikke-spredning av masseødeleggelsesvåpen.
Efforts are now under way to ban cluster munitions that have unacceptable humanitarian consequences.
Nå pågår arbeidet for å forby klaseammunisjon som har uakseptable humanitære konsekvenser.
And we have been working strategically to push nuclear disarmament much higher up on the international agenda.
Og vi har jobbet strategisk for å sette atomnedrustning langt høyere på den internasjonale dagsorden.
The world needs to see visible progress in the run-up to the climate conference in Copenhagen next year.
Verden trenger synlige fremskritt på veien mot klimakonferansen i København neste år.
Our ability to meet the challenges of climate change will depend on our ability to renew the multilateral framework, involve developing countries and devise mechanisms that distribute the burden fairly.
Vår evne til å møte klimautfordringene står og faller på evnen til å fornye det multilaterale avtaleverket, trekke utviklingslandene med, og finne mekanismer som kan fordele byrdene.
The world needs determined action in order to resolve the growing food crisis, where the price of rice and various grains has doubled.
Verden trenger handlekraft for å møte utfordringen fra en tiltakende matvarekrise, med dobling av prisene på ris og kornsorter.
Humanitarian assistance is urgently needed to relieve suffering and want.
Det er stort behov for humanitær bistand for å avhjelpe nøden.
Norway has allocated NOK 100 million for these efforts.
Norge har avsatt 100 millioner kroner til dette formålet.
At the same time, we must take a long-term perspective in our efforts to bring about structural solutions through international cooperation in organisations such as FAO, UNDP, the World Bank, the OECD and the WTO.
Samtidig må vi arbeide langsiktig, for strukturelle løsninger, gjennom internasjonalt samarbeid i organisasjoner som FAO, UNDP, Verdensbanken, OECD og WTO.
To conclude, Mr President,
For å konkludere, President,
In my address here today, I have said that modern realpolitik is a matter of grasping the breadth of the new global community of interests we are a part of.
I denne redegjørelsen har jeg pekt på at i en moderne realpolitikk må vi evne å favne spennvidden av det nye globale interessefellesskapet som vi er en del av.
In order to safeguard Norwegian interests, our engagement must, therefore, be broad, strategic and value-based.
For å ivareta norske interesser må vårt engasjement derfor være bredt, strategisk og verdibasert.
Foreign Policy Address to the Storting
Utenrikspolitisk redegjørelse for Stortinget 20. mai 2008
The goal is to prevent tobacco use among children and young people.
Målet er å hindre at barn og unge begynner med tobakk.
– We know that young people are influenced by the appearance of tobacco packaging.
–Vi vet at unge blir påvirket av utseendet på tobakksemballasjen.
Packaging may be what makes them try tobacco for the first time, or what deters them from it.
Det kan være dette som får dem til å prøve tobakk for første gang, eller la være.
Every year, about 6600 people in Norway die from diseases caused by smoking.
Hvert år dør om lag 6600 personer i Norge som følge av sykdommer som skyldes røyking.
Snus (smokeless tobacco) is also harmful to health and can cause cancer, type 2 diabetes and increased mortality connected to a number of diseases.
Snus er også helseskadelig og kan føre til kreft, diabetes 2 og økt dødelighet etter en rekke sykdommer.
Snus use during pregnancy increases the risk of premature birth and stillbirth.
Snusing under graviditet øker risikoen for prematur fødsel og dødfødsel.
We have however seen a sharp increase among young people who use snus in the last decade.
Samtidig har vi sett en kraftig økning blant unge som snuser det siste tiåret.
18 percent of 16-24 year olds use snus daily.
18 prosent i aldersgruppen 16-24 år snuser nå daglig.
Among boys, 23 per cent use snus every day.
Blant guttene er det 23 prosent som snuser hver dag.
12 percent of girls do the same.
12 prosent av jentene gjør det samme.
My goal is to prevent children and young people from using tobacco, says Høie.
Mitt mål er å hindre at barn og unge begynner med tobakk, sier Høie.
Standardised tobacco packaging was introduced in Australia in 2012.
Standardiserte tobakkspakninger ble innført i Australia i 2012.

Norwegian Government to consult on proposal for standardised packaging of tobacco products
Foreslår standardiserte tobakkspakninger
The Government proposal means that all tobacco products sold in Norway will have standardised packaging.
Regjeringen sender på høring et forslag om at all tobakk som selges i Norge skal ha standardisert og reklamefri emballasje.

Five-party agreement on management of the Norwegian spring-spawning herring stock
Fempartsavtale om forvaltning av norsk vårgytende sild for 2007
On 18 January 2007, the EU, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Norway and Russia concluded an agreement on the management of the Norwegian spring-spawning herring fish stock.
18. januar 2007 ble det undertegnet en kyststatsavtale mellom EU, Færøyene, Island, Norge og Russland.
The Norwegian spring-spawning herring stock is the largest fish stock in the North Atlantic.
Norsk vårgytende sild (NVG) er Nordatlanterens største fiskebestand.
With the new five-party agreement, catches of all the main fish stocks in Norwegian waters are now regulated.
Den nye fempartsavtalen innebærer at alle de store bestandene i norske farvann nå er regulert, og dette er positivt.
“The new allocation formula gives Norway the largest share of the TAC it has been awarded since the five-party management regime for Norwegian spring-spawning herring was introduced in 1996,” said Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre.
- Den nye fordelingsnøkkelen gir Norge den høyeste andel av totalkvoten som har vært oppnådd siden fempartsforvaltningen av NVG-sild ble innledet i 1996, sier utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre.
Norway has played a leading and responsible role in this work,” said Mr Støre.
Her har Norge gått foran og tatt ansvar, sier Støre.
The five-party agreement that has now been concluded is a new step forward in cooperation on the management of fish stocks in the North-East Atlantic.
Den fempartsavtalen som nå er inngått, representerer et nytt fremskritt i forvaltningssamarbeidet om fiskeressursene i Nordøstatlanteren.
This cooperation also involves efforts to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing (IUU fishing).
Det er et samarbeid som blant annet gjelder bekjempelsen av ulovlig, uregulert og urapportert fiske (UUU-fiske).

Government triples funding for combating forest crime through Interpol
Tredobler innsatsen mot skogkriminalitet gjennom Interpol
The Norwegian Government is stepping up its efforts to combat deforestation.
Regjeringen trapper opp kampen mot avskoging.
Around 40 % of logging in tropical forests is illegal.
40 prosent av huggingen av tropisk skog skyldes ulovlig hogst.
“The world’s “green lungs” need to be protected.
- Verdens grønne lunger må beskyttes.
The International Climate and Forest Initiative is a priority area for the Norwegian Government.
Klima- og skogsatsing er et prioritert område i regjeringens utenrikspolitikk.
Norway is now increasing its support for phase two of an international police cooperation project targeting the illegal logging industry, which is worth between NOK 240 billion and NOK 600 billion globally.
Norge øker nå støtten til 15 millioner kroner til fase to av et internasjonalt politisamarbeid mot illegal tømmerindustri, som er verdt mellom 240 og 600 milliarder kroner på verdensbasis.
The efforts that Norway is supporting have so far helped to ensure that illegal timber worth NOK 288 million has been seized.
Så langt har den norskstøttede innsatsen bidratt til at illegalt tømmer verdt 288 millioner kroner er blitt beslaglagt.
“It is crucial that we fight the organised criminal networks that are earning huge amounts of money from deforestation.
- Det er viktig å bekjempe organiserte kriminelle nettverk som tjener store penger på avskoging.
There is no point spending lots of money on rainforest conservation if criminals then simply chop the forest down,” Mr Holmås said.
Det hjelper ikke om vi bruker masse penger på å bevare regnskogen, dersom kriminelle hugger den ned, sier Holmås.
Norway is also allocating NOK 15 million to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) for projects targeting forest crime.
Norge støtter også FNs kontor for narkotika og organisert kriminalitet (UNOCD) med 15 millioner kroner til prosjekter som retter seg mot skogkriminalitet.
In the most recent operation, rainforest timber equivalent to 20 000 truckloads was seized by police in Venezuela and Costa Rica.
I den siste aksjonen ble regnskogtømmer tilsvarende 20 000 lastebillass beslaglagt av politiet i Venezuela og Costa Rica.
Similar operations are being planned in Asia and Africa.
Det forberedes tilsvarende aksjoner i Asia og Afrika.
Project Leaf (Law Enforcement Assistance for Forests) is a consortium initiative led by Interpol and the United Nations Environment Programme’s (UNEP) centre in Norway (UNEP Grid Arendal).
«Project Leaf» (Law Enforcement Assistance for Forests) er et samarbeid mellom Interpol og FNs miljøprograms senter i Arendal (Unep Grid Arendal), som støttes gjennom regjeringens klima- og skogsatsingsstøtte.
The initiative is funded by the Government of Norway and managed by Norad (the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation.
Ordningen forvaltes av Norad, direktoratet for utviklingsarbeid.

Given the strength of the scientific evidence linking human activity with climate change, and the associated economic, social and political risks, I believe it is prudent for fiduciaries of financial institutions to consider the implications of climate change for strategic asset allocation decisions.
