As you know, Prime Minister Stoltenberg, co-chaired the High-Level Panel on UN System-wide Coherence, which examined the organisation’s effectiveness in the areas of the environment, humanitarian assistance and development cooperation.
Som dere vet, var statsminister Stoltenberg en av lederne for et panel som så på FNs effektivitet innenfor miljø, humanitær bistand og utvikling.
The panel submitted its report in November last year, and its recommendations are now being tested.
Panelet leverte sin rapport i november i fjor, med konkrete forslag og disse er nå til utprøving.
The follow-up of the panel’s recommendations will figure prominently in Norway’s UN policy.
Oppfølgingen av panelets anbefalinger vil stå sentralt i norsk FN-politikk.
The triennial comprehensive policy review of operational activities for development of the United Nations system will be a key issue at the forthcoming session of the General Assembly.
Treårsgjennomgangen av FNs utviklingsarbeid blir en hovedsak under den kommende generalforsamlingen.
The goal is – as you know – that the UN should “deliver as one” at country level, with one leader, one programme and one budget – and preferably one UN office.
Målet er – som dere vet – at FN på landnivå skal ”levere sammen som én”, med én leder, ett program, og ett budsjett og helst ett FN-kontor.
This model is now being tested in eight pilot countries, partly with Norwegian funding.
Denne modellen prøves nå ut i åtte pilotland, delvis finansiert av Norge.
Vietnam is the country that has come furthest, and the results so far are promising.
Vietnam er det landet som har kommet lengst og resultatene er lovende.
Strengthening efforts to promote gender equality and the rights of women is one area in which the panel made concrete and ambitious recommendations.
Styrking av arbeidet for kvinner og likestilling var blant de områder der reformpanelet kom med ambisiøse, konkrete forslag.
Gender equality needs to be given more emphasis in the UN, and I hope that this will be one of the first results of the reform process.
Likestilling må få større trykk i FN og jeg håper at styrking av likestillingsarbeidet blir et av de første resultatene vi kan se av reformarbeidet.
Together with the other Nordic countries, we have presented a statement on gender equality to the General Assembly.
Sammen med andre nordiske land har vi fått forelagt saken for Generalforsamlingen.
And I would like to let you know that we have benefited from the pressure brought to bear on us by Norwegian and international NGOs.
Og til dere: Vi har hele tiden hatt god nytte av presset fra norske og internasjonale frivillige organisasjoner.
Keep up your commitment, also within the global network.
Fortsett med dette engasjementet – også ute i globale nettverk.
Development is closely connected with global climate change, which is one of the greatest environmental and economic challenges facing the world today.
Utvikling har nær sammenheng med de globale klimaendringene, en av de største miljømessige og økonomiske utfordringene verden står overfor i dag.
This will have an impact on this year’s session of the General Assembly.
Det vil prege årets generalforsamling.
The reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have now, as you are aware, established beyond reasonable doubt that climate change over the last 50 years is due to human activity.
Rapportene fra FNs klimapanel konkluderer som kjent med at det ikke lenger er rimelig tvil om at den globale oppvarmingen de siste femti årene er menneskeskapt.
And you are also aware that we have set ambitious goals to combat climate change.
Og dere kjenner jo til at vi selv har satt oss ambisiøse klimamål.
The Government has decided that Norway will strengthen its Kyoto commitment for the period up to 2012 by 10%.
(Regjeringen har besluttet å overoppfylle vår del av Kyotoavtalen med 10 % innen 2012.
This means achieving a 9% reduction in emissions in relation to the 1990 level rather than an increase of 1% as originally agreed.
Det betyr at vi skal ned på 9 % under 1990-nivå – og ikke pluss 1 %.
We intend to reduce global emissions by the equivalent of 30% of Norway’s emissions by 2020.
Vi skal forplikte oss til å kutte de globale utslippene av klimagasser tilsvarende 30 % av Norges utslipp innen 2020.
And we have undertaken to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases by the equivalent of 100% of our own emissions by 2050.
Vi skal ta ansvar for å redusere de globale utslipp av klimagasser tilsvarende 100 % av egne utslipp innen 2050.
This will make Norway carbon neutral.
Dette vil gjøre Norge karbonnøytralt).
Norway is also taking part – at the invitation of the UN – in the efforts initiated by the Secretary-General to make the UN carbon neutral.
Norge deltar også – på invitasjon fra FN – i arbeidet som generalsekretæren har startet for å gjøre selve FN-organisasjonen karbonnøytral.
Gro Harlem Brundtland is also playing a key role here as one of the Secretary-General’s special envoys on climate change.
Og Gro Harlem Brundtland spiller en nøkkelrolle igjen her som rådgiver for generalsekretæren.
The Kyoto Protocol is just a first step.
Kyoto-protokollen er bare et første skritt.
A more ambitious global climate agreement is needed that includes more comprehensive emissions commitments and wider participation.
Det er behov for en mer ambisiøs global klimaavtale med mer omfattende utslippsforpliktelser og deltakelse.
We must bring on board as many as possible of the countries that have not undertaken commitments under the protocol.
Vi må få med flest mulig land som i dag ikke har påtatt seg utslippsforpliktelser under protokollen.
This applies to the US.
Det gjelder USA.
And it applies to the major developing countries.
Det gjelder de største utviklingslandene.
The Prime Minister and I will take part in several events relating to health and development, and health and foreign policy in connection with the opening of this year’s session of the General Assembly.
Ved åpningen av generalforsamlingen vil statsministeren og jeg delta i flere arrangementer knyttet til helse og utvikling, helse og utenrikspolitikk.
By 2015.
Innen 2015.
But if the rate of development since 2000 continues, we will not reach these targets.
Men om utviklingen som vi har sett fra 2000 fortsetter, så kommer vi ikke til å nå målene.
Some countries are making good progress, but the overall picture is not encouraging.
Noen land gjør det bra, men det samlede bildet er ikke oppløftende.
Norway is committed to achieving all eight MDGs, but the Government has decided to make a particular effort in relation to MDGs 4 and 5, mentioned above.
Norge er opptatt av og forpliktet i forhold til alle de åtte tusenårsmål, men Regjeringen har besluttet å gjøre en spesiell innsats for de to nevnte.
What exactly is Norway doing here?
Hva gjør Norge?
I would like to mention briefly the following.
Jeg vil kort nevne:
This will be presented in New York on 26 September by Prime Minister Stoltenberg (and others).
Den offentliggjøres i New York 26. september av blant annet statsminister Stoltenberg.
The business plan is part of a broader international framework that we are developing together with the UK, Canada, the Gates Foundation and others that are seeking to strengthen health systems and improve access to health services in the world’s poorest countries.
Handlingsplanen settes innenfor en bredere internasjonal ramme som vi utvikler sammen med Storbritannia, Canada, Gates Foundation og andre og som har som mål å styrke helsesystemene og bedre tilgangen til helsetjenester i verdens fattigste land.
Jens Stoltenberg and his colleague Gordon Brown share a strong commitment in this area and they will present a proposal prior to the General Assembly.
Stoltenberg og kollega Gordon Brown har et sterkt engasjement sammen og de to vil legge fram forslag i forkant av generalforsamlingen.
They are meeting in London next week.
De møtes i neste uke i London.
Health and development are closely linked to peace.
Helse og utvikling er nært forbundet med arbeidet for fred.
In Burundi, where we are involved in peacebuilding efforts, life expectancy is 44.
I Burundi, der vi driver fredsbygging, er levealderen 44 år.
How can we build peace and create development when people are dying at their most productive age?
Hvordan kan man bygge varig fred og skape utvikling når befolkningen dør mens de er i sin mest produktive alder?
Infectious, but curable diseases such as malaria and tuberculosis are claiming a shocking number of lives.
Smittsomme, men kurerbare sykdommer som malaria og tuberkulose, tar ufattelig mange liv.
The spread of HIV/Aids is draining societies of resources.
Utbredelsen av hiv/aids tapper samfunnene for ressurser.
The most vulnerable countries are also affected by war and violence.
De mest utsatte land er også preget av krig og vold.
Lasting peace depends on development.
Varig fred er avhengig av utvikling.
Health is a decisive factor.
Helsefaktoren er her en avgjørende del av regnestykket.
This is another priority area for Norway, in close cooperation with the UN and other actors.
Også dette er et satsingsområde for Norge, i nært samarbeid med FN og andre aktører.
Here we will contribute not only resources, but also policy.
Her skal vi stille opp med ressurser, men også med politikk.
We will, to a greater extent, ensure that our foreign policy takes global health perspectives into account, including diplomatic efforts where needed.
Vi skal i større grad sikre at vår utenrikspolitikk tar hensyn til globale helseperspektiver – med diplomatisk innsats der det trengs.
We can reduce conflict and achieve other foreign policy targets through health efforts.
Vi kan dempe konflikt og nå andre utenrikspolitiske mål gjennom innsats på helsearenaen.
Key words in this context are: bird flu, foot and mouth disease and SARS.
Stikkord: Fugleinfluensa, munn- og klovsyke, SARS.
We are following up the initiative I took within a group of seven countries that met in New York during last year’s General Assembly to link health and foreign policy more closely.
Med andre ord: Initiativet som jeg har tatt om tettere kobling helse – utenrikspolitikk, innen en gruppe på syv land, som møttes i New York under generalforsamlingen i fjor, dette følges opp.
The new French Foreign Minister with his background in humanitarian efforts will be a key colleague in this effort.
Den nye franske utenriksministeren, med sin bakgrunn innenfor det humanitære arbeidet, vil være en engasjert kollega på dette feltet.
I will soon “come in for landing”.
Jeg går nå snart ”inn for landing...”.
It is now nearly 20 years since the last whitepaper on the main lines in Norway’s foreign policy was presented.
Det er snart tyve år siden forrige stortingsmelding ble utarbeidet om de store linjene i norsk utenrikspolitikk.
We are going to test our reflexes, challenge ourselves and strengthen the debate on how Norway should meet globalisation and changes in the international power constellations.
Vi skal teste refleksene, utfordre oss selv og styrke debatten om hvordan Norge bør møte globaliseringen og internasjonal makt i endring.
Here too, the UN and our own UN policy take centre stage.
Også her står FN sentralt og vår egen FN-politikk.
I am looking forward to this debate and to your participation in it.
Jeg ser frem til den debatten og til deres deltakelse i den.
I am inviting you all to take part, visit our web pages, and send in short memos.
Jeg inviterer dere til å være med, besøk våre nettsider, spill inn med korte notater!
Thank you.
Takk for oppmerksomheten.
