Cooking claims lives in many parts of the world.
Matlaging tar liv i mange deler av verden.
More than four million people die every year from air pollution caused by cooking, heating and the use of paraffin lamps.
Hvert år dør over fire millioner mennesker av luftforurensning fra matlaging, oppvarming og parafinlamper.
Women and young children in rural communities top the statistics.
Kvinner og små barn på landsbygda i utviklingsland topper dødsstatistikken.
Worldwide, 2.8 billion people still cook their food in this way.
2,8 milliarder mennesker i verden lager fortsatt mat på denne måten.

‘Air pollution is a huge health problem, but we know how to reduce the number of people who die as a result of it.
- Luftforurensning er et enormt helseproblem, men vi vet hvordan vi kan få ned dødstallene.
I am pleased that Norway is taking part in this global mobilisation effort to provide clean cookstoves in poor countries,’ said Mr Brende.
Jeg er glad for at Norge deltar i denne globale mobiliseringen for å sikre rene kokeovner i fattige land, sier utenriksministeren.

- China plays a key role with regard to fair globalization and the strengthening of labor rights, Minister of Trade and Industry, Trond Giske said after a seminar on corporate social responsibility in Beijing.
- Kina spiller en nøkkelrolle med hensyn til rettferdig globalisering og styrking av faglige rettigheter, sier nærings- og handelsminister Trond Giske etter et seminar om samfunnsansvar i Beijing.
- China is the largest recipient of foreign investment, next to the United States, and is the world's second largest exporter.
- Kina er den største mottakeren av utenlandske investeringer, ved siden av USA, og er verdens nest største eksportør.
China's importance to the global labor market can hardly be overestimated.
Kinas betydning for det globaliserte arbeidsmarkedet kan vanskelig overvurderes.
The fact that Chinese companies now invest abroad brings corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a new dimension in relation to China, Giske said.
Det faktum at kinesiske selskaper nå også investerer i utlandet bringer bedriftenes samfunnsansvar (CSR) inn som en ny dimensjon i forhold til Kina, sier Giske.
The seminar addressed both Norwegian and Chinese companies established in China and gathered about 150 participants.
Seminaret rettet seg både norske og kinesiske bedrifter etablert i Kina og samlet omlag 150 deltakere.
- This is a very important seminar that builds on many years of cooperation between Norwegian and Chinese institutions and organizations.
- Dette er et svært viktig seminar som bygger på mange års samarbeid mellom norske og kinesiske institusjoner og organisasjoner.
The objective is to build up and to strengthen cooperation between China and Norway in social responsibility, Giske said.
Målsettingen er å bygge opp under og å styrke samarbeidet mellom Kina og Norge innen samfunnsansvar, sier Giske.
In 2009, the Norwegeian Government presented a white paper on corporate social responsibility in a global world.
I 2009 la regjeringen frem en stortingsmelding om bedrifters samfunnsansvar i en global verden.
It emphasizes both Norwegian companies' performance abroad and international cooperation in the field of social responsibility.
Meldingen vektlegger både norske bedrifters opptreden i utlandet og internasjonalt samarbeid på området.
Many companies find it meaningful and a commerciall asset to combine economic, social and environmental ambitions.
Mange bedrifter opplever det som meningsfylt og forretningsmessig fornuftig å forene økonomiske, samfunnsmessige og miljømessige ambisjoner.
The seminar was organized by the Embassy in Beijing, Innovation Norway, NHO and its sister organization, China Enterprise Confederation (CEC) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry.
Seminaret ble arrangert av ambassaden i Beijing, Innovasjon Norge, NHO og deres søsterorganisasjon China Enterprise Confederation (CEC) og Nærings- og handelsdepartementet.
Chinese authorities, businesses from both Norway and China, ILO, Initiative for Ethical Trade and Labor Inspectorate participated.
Kinesiske myndigheter, næringsliv fra både Norge og Kina, ILO, Initiativ for etisk handel og Arbeidstilsynet deltok.
International research and innovation cooperation is an important part of the Government's efforts to achieve economic restructuring and growth.

The meeting discussed the main messages of the World Bank’s World Development Report 2011 (WDR), which underlines that at least 1.5 billion people currently live in areas affected by political conflict and criminal violence, and that successful transitions require national leadership and international support to build legitimate institutions for citizen security, justice and jobs.

Among some key points of the WDR are that: no countries suffering from repeated cycles of political and criminal violence have achieved a single Millennium Development Goal (MDG); children living in fragile states are twice as likely to be undernourished and three times as likely to be out of school; fragile and conflict states drag down neighbors with violence that spills over borders.

The World Bank recognizes the security challenges to development and we’re pleased to work with key partners such as Norway in rethinking how we and others target our assistance and leverage lessons learned,” said Zoellick, who noted that it was fitting to have the WDR seminar on the margins of the Nordic and Baltic World Bank Governors meetings because the countries had been so supportive of the WDR.

Norway launches research collaboration on foreign policy and global health
Norge lanserer forskningssamarbeid på utenrikspolitikk og global helse
Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Støre today launched a new collaborative research project that will explore the links between foreign policy and global health.
Utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre lanserte i dag et nytt forskningssamarbeid som tar for seg koblingene mellom utenrikspolitikk og global helse.

Mr Støre said that epidemics such as SARS and H1N1 have reminded us that “national borders offer little protection against global health risks”, and “that national interests and national economy are dependent on global health conditions”.
- Epidemier som Sars og svineinfluensaen har minnet oss om at nasjonale grenser ikke gir noen beskyttelse mot globale helsetrusler og at nasjonale interesser og økonomi henger sammen med den globale helsetilstanden, sier Støre.
