"A great encouragement", says Norway's Premier
- EN STOR OPPMUNTRING, SIER STATSMINISTEREN
10 October 1997
Nr.113/97 10.10.1997
"I am very pleased that this year's Nobel Peace Prize goes to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) and to the campaign's coordinator Jody Williams", says Norway's Prime Minister, Thorbjørn Jagland.
- Jeg er meget glad for tildelingen av Nobels fredspris til Den internasjonale kampanjen mot landminer (ICBL) og kampanjens koordinator Jody Williams, sier statsminister Thorbjørn Jagland.
These weapons also represent a considerable hindrance to social and economic development in conflict areas.
Disse våpnene representerer samtidig et betydelig hinder for sosial og økonomisk utvikling i konfliktområdene.
This I could personally observe during my visit to Bosnia this August", Mr. Jagland says.
Det kunne jeg selv konstatere under mitt besøk i Bosnia i august, sier Jagland.
The prize also demonstrates the importance of the work performed by Norwegian independent organisations, as the Norwegian People's Aid, in many parts of the world", the Prime Minister says.
Prisen viser også betydningen av det arbeid som norske frivillige organisasjoner, som Norsk Folkehjelp, gjør i mange deler av verden, sier statsministeren.
"This work was brought to a preliminary result through the treaty negotiated in Oslo this September.
- Den foreløpige sluttstenen i dette arbeidet var avtalen som ble forhandlet fram i Oslo i september i år.
I hope the Nobel Committee's decision will secure the greatest possible support for the treaty at its signing in Ottawa in December", Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland says.
Jeg håper at prisutdelingen vil føre til størst mulig opplsutning om avtalen ved undertegningen i Ottawa i desember, sier statsminister Thorbjørn Jagland.
Speech held at The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters
Innlegg ved Det Norske Videnskaps-Akademi
Your Majesty, president, ladies and gentlemen.
Deres majestet, preses, mine damer og herrer.
I am pleased to have the opportunity to participate here this evening.
Jeg er glad for å ha fått anledningen til å delta her i kveld.
I would like to thank the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters for this excellent initiative.
Jeg vil takke Det Norske Videnskaps Akademi for et meget godt initiativ.
The objective of these seminars is to create a forum for dialogue between scientists and politicians.
Hensikten med disse seminarene er å skape et forum for dialog mellom forskere og politikere.
I have great faith in such a dialogue, and we need more of that!
En slik dialog har jeg stor tro på, det trengs det mer av!
I appreciate the opportunity to discuss topics that are important for Norway, Europe and the world, and this is a very good forum for such a discussion.
Jeg er glad for en anledning til å resonnere rundt viktige tema for Norge, Europa og verden.
I wholeheartedly support the ideas and visions Hans Rasmus Astrup had for this Academy.
Hans Rasmus Astrup hadde ideer for huset som jeg støtter varmt.
He was appalled by the fact that many conservatives and liberals in Norway were profoundly unwilling to have any social contact at all, hardly even speaking with each other."
Det hadde forferdet ham dypt å merke at mange høyre- og venstremenn i Norge var ytterst uvillige til å ha noe som helst selskapelig omgang med hverandre, ja nesten ikke engang ville snakke sammen."
For my part, I have a keen interest in staying in touch with the academic community, and I would like to see the community get more involved in the public debate.
Selv er jeg svært opptatt av å være i kontakt med akademia, som jeg synes godt kan bli mer synlige i den offentlige debatten.
Therefore, I held a series of lectures last year, visiting the Universities in Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim and Tromsø.
I fjor holdt jeg derfor selv en forelesningsserie, der jeg var innom Universitetene i Oslo, Stavanger, Bergen, Trondheim og Tromsø.
I also took advantage of the opportunity to challenge academia.
Jeg brukte også anledningen til å utfordre akademia.
As a society, we have in many cases become so practical and solution-oriented in our thinking that I wonder if we are under-estimating the importance of debate and arguments.
Som samfunn har vi ofte blitt så praktisk anlagt og løsningsorienterte at jeg har en følelse av at vi undervurderer betydningen av debatt og ordskifte.
The academic community has a special responsibility to contribute here, and my opinion is that the community is largely too silent on these issues.
Akademia har et spesielt ansvar til å bidra her.
It is a paradox that participation in the social debate appears to be in reverse proportion to the number of academics.
Og det er jo et paradoks at deltakelsen i samfunnsdebatten ser ut til å være omvendt proporsjonal med antall akademikere.
I hereby repeat the challenge.
Utfordringen er herved gjentatt.
I hope that the academic community will become a stronger driving force and source of debate in the future discourse.
Måtte akademia bli en sterkere drivkraft og kilde til debatt i ordskiftet i fremtiden.
Tonight’s topic is “Norwegian energy policy in light of the global energy situation”, a burning issue that consumes most – if not all – of my working days.
Kveldens tema er ”Norsk energipolitikk i lys av den globale energisituasjonen”.
Let’s start with the big picture.
For å begynne med det store bildet.
My opinion is that the world is facing two major challenges: the climate challenge and the poverty challenge.
Mitt utgangspunkt er at verden står overfor to store utfordringer: Klimautfordringen og fattigdomsutfordringen.
The world will have an enormous need for more energy in the years to come.
Verden vil ha et enormt behov for mer energi i årene framover.
Significant changes are required if we are to limit global warming to no more than two degrees by 2050.
Skal verden begrense den globale oppvarmingen til maks to grader innen 2050, vil det kreve en betydelig omlegging.
Twenty years have passed since China became an importer of oil.
Det er nå tjue år siden Kina ble en importør av olje.
Today, China is the world’s second largest importer of oil, consuming 10 million barrels per day in 2011, nearly 10% more than last year, and representing a growth that accounts for almost 40% of the increase in global oil consumption.
I dag er Kina verdens nest største importør av olje, med et forbruk på 10 millioner fat per dag i 2011, hvilket er nesten 10% mer enn i fjor og en vekst som utgjør nærmere 40% av den globale veksten i oljeforbruk.
10 million barrels per day is about 5 times Norway’s production.
10 millioner fat per dag er om lag 5 ganger Norges produksjon.
China’s installed capacity for generating electricity increased by 80 gigawatts from 2007 to 2008, compared with Norway’s installed capacity of 31 GW.
Kinas installerte kapasitet for elektrisitetsproduksjon økte med 80 GW fra 2007 til 2008, sammenliknet med installert kapasitet i Norge på 31 GW.
In other words, it took China five months to build up what took us 120 years to achieve.
Kina bruker altså fem måneder på å bygge opp det samme som vi brukte 120 år på.
China became a net importer of coal three years ago, and is today the world’s second largest importer, dominating development in global coal prices.
Det er 3 år siden Kina ble nettoimportør av kull og er i dag nest største importør og dominerer utviklingen i kullpriser globalt.
A major reason for the increase in energy demand is the growing world population and a decline in poverty.
En viktig grunn til at energietterspørselen øker, er at verdens befolkning øker og at mange løftes ut av fattigdom.
There is a close link between energy consumption and increasing prosperity.
Det er en nær sammenheng mellom energibruk og velstandsutvikling.
Norway is a prime example of this.
Norge er kanskje det fremst eksempel på dette.
This has been a prerequisite for development.
Det har vært en forutsetning for utvikling.
But energy consumption is also closely linked with greenhouse gas emissions.
Men det er også en nær sammenheng mellom energibruk og klimagassutslipp.
If we are to handle the problems of poverty and the climate challenge in parallel, we must achieve economic growth without a corresponding increase in energy consumption.
Skal vi håndtere fattigdomsproblemet og klimautfordringen parallelt må vi få til økonomisk vekst uten samme vekst i energiforbruk.
Last year, the world’s population passed the 7 billion mark.
Verden passerte i fjor 7 milliarder mennesker.
Never before have so many people, in relative or absolute terms, had such a good chance of achieving a good life.
Aldri før har så mange, verken relativt eller absolutt, hatt så gode muligheter for gode og rike liv – liv som til en viss grad kan ligne våre.
This is a positive and encouraging trend.
Det er positivt og viktig å glede seg over.
Nevertheless. there are around 1.5 billion people without electricity and more than 1 billion who do not have enough to eat.
Likevel er det omtrent 1,5 milliarder mennesker uten strøm i verden og vel 1 milliard uten nok mat.
This is one of the greatest challenges facing our world, not least in an ethical and moral perspective.
Dette utgjør en av verdens absolutt store utfordringer – ikke minst etisk og moralsk.
In Norway and the western world, sustainable economic and social growth came as a consequence of eliminating these factors.
I Norge og i Vesten kom en bærekraftig økonomisk og sosial utvikling som en konsekvens av at vi eliminerte slike forhold.
All scenarios in the World Energy Outlook indicate better global progress in the years to come, and that we have to accomplish twice as much if we are to achieve the two-degree goal.
I World Energy Outlook tilsier alle scenario at verden vil gjøre det bedre enn dette framover, og at vi må gjøre det minst dobbelt så bra om vi skal nå togradersmålet.
This should be possible.
Dette bør være mulig.
Events in Norway are a good example.
Det som har skjedd i Norge er et godt eksempel.
From 1990 to 2010, Norway’s energy consumption grew by about 20%, while our economic growth in the same period was 67%.
I Norge har vi i perioden 1990 til 2010 økt vårt energiforbruk med om lag 20 %, mens vi i samme periode har hatt en økonomisk vekst på 67%.
Figures from Statistics Norway show that emission intensity for greenhouse gases relative to production have been cut almost by half during this period.
Tall fra SSB viser at utslippsintensiteten for klimagasser sett i forhold til produksjon er nær halvert i perioden.
This is significant progress, and the development continues.
Dette er en betydelig fremgang, og historien er ikke over.
The task facing the world is formidable, but we have a moral obligation to succeed.
Oppgaven verden står overfor er formidabel.
Our grandparents and parents managed to send people to the moon and to bring about a peaceful conclusion to the cold war and imminent nuclear threat.
Våre besteforeldre og våre foreldre klarte å sende folk til månen og gjennomføre en fredelig slutt på den kalde krigen og en umiddelbar atomtrussel.
In such a perspective, I don’t think these challenges are insurmountable.
Innenfor en slik ramme blir ikke utfordringene uoverkommelige.
A binding, international climate agreement would be an important step, as well as a global CO2 price.
Et viktig skritt vil være en bindende internasjonal klimaavtale, og en global CO2-pris.
A global price tag on greenhouse gas emissions would be the most effective policy instrument we can introduce.
En global pris på klimagassutslipp vil være det mest effektive virkemiddelet vi kan innføre.
It can facilitate making an offensive climate policy good business policy as well, and it can contribute to realising global emission cuts.
Det kan tilrettelegge for at en offensiv klimapolitikk også blir god næringspolitikk, og at globale utslippsreduksjoner kan realiseres.
Not least, the development of carbon capture and storage will take on a whole new drive if we can put a global price tag on CO2.
Ikke minst ville utviklingen av karbonfangst og –lagring få et helt annet driv med en global pris på CO2.
The development that we see now is largely a result of the lack of consensus from the world society as regards a global price tag on CO2.
Utviklingen vi ser nå skyldes i stor grad manglende signaler fra verdenssamfunnet om at det kommer en global CO2-pris.
Along with setting the “right price” on both energy and emissions, we must remove fossil energy subsidies.
I tillegg til å sette en ”riktig pris” både på energi og utslipp, er vi nødt til å fjerne subsidiering av fossil energi.
According to the IEA, more than 400 billion dollars were spent on subsidising fossil energy consumption in 2010.
Ifølge IEA ble det brukt over 400 milliarder dollar på å subsidiere fossilt energiforbruk i 2010.
