In 2011, we are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Fridtjof Nansen, the Norwegian researcher, humanist, diplomat, adventurer and globetrotter.
Vi markerer i 2011 at det er 150 år siden forskeren, humanisten, diplomaten, eventyreren og globetrotteren Fridtjof Nansen ble født.
Before he turned 30, Nansen was already a national hero, a status he maintained all his life until his death in 1930.
Allerede før han fylte 30 år fremsto Nansen som nasjonalhelt, en posisjon han befestet frem til sin død i 1930.
These were characteristics the young Norwegian nation wanted to be associated with.
– Kjennetegn det unge Norge gjerne ville identifisere seg med.
As a diplomat, Nansen was active during the formation of modern Norway – another example of his many activities.
Som diplomat var Nansen aktiv under dannelsen av det moderne Norge, som nok en illustrasjon på hans mangfoldige virke.
Part of this picture of him also includes Nansen the humanitarian, the man who carried with him the memories of all the distress and misery he had witnessed on his travels around the end of World War I. Across Europe, Nansen is therefore remembered as the humanist, the High Commissioner for Refugees of the League of Nations, who put all his prestige into helping hundreds of thousands of refugees and prisoners of war.
Rundt om i Europa minnes Nansen derfor som humanisten, Folkeforbundets høykommissær for flyktninger, som satte hele sin prestisje inn på å hjelpe hundretusener av flyktninger og krigsfanger.
When in 1922 he received the Nobel Peace Prize, it was also for his help efforts during the catastrophic famine that struck the Soviet Union.
Da han i 1922 mottok Nobels fredspris, var det også for sin innsats under hungerkatastrofen som rammet Russland.
But already as a young man, living among the Inuit in Greenland as a social anthropology field worker, Nansen had demonstrated his ability to understand and adapt to other people’s way of life.
Men allerede som ung mann hadde Nansen vist sine evner til innlevelse og tilpasning, som sosialantropologisk feltarbeider blant inuittene på Grønland.
Here he was far in advance of his time.
Her var han langt forut for sin tid.
Nansen's respectful presentation of their knowledge, insight, technology, living conditions and culture helped to create a favourable attitude to preserving and protecting the culture and basis of existence for indigenous peoples – an attitude that is still prevalent in the countries of the north.
Nansens respektfulle formidling av deres innsikt, deres kunnskaper, teknologi, levekår og kultur, alt dette var med på å skape en holdning til bevaring og vern om urfolks kultur og næringsgrunnlag som i dag preger statene i nord.
Today it is Nansen's thirst for knowledge and his inquisitiveness about everything concerning the High North that makes him an idol for many, not least for today's researchers.
I dag er det Nansens kunnskapstørst og nysgjerrighet på alt som angikk nordområdene som gjør ham til et forbilde ikke minst for dagens forskere.
During his expeditions he undertook scientific studies and compiled data that yielded valuable new knowledge about animal and plant life, ice conditions and ocean currents, meteorology and geology in the Arctic regions.
Under ekspedisjonene ble det foretatt vitenskapelige undersøkelser og målinger som ga ny verdifull kunnskap om dyr og planteliv, isforhold og havstrømmer, meterologi og geologi i de arktiske områdene.
Nansen sought and saw connections between life forms and environments, between climate change and living conditions.
Nansen søkte og så sammenhenger mellom livsformer og miljø, mellom klimaendringer og livsvilkår.
For this reason we can say – although the term did not exist in his time – that he pioneered a modern ecological understanding of nature.
Dette gjør at han – selv om slike uttrykk ikke var i bruk da – kan sies å ha vært en foregangsmann for moderne økologisk naturforståelse.
As a professor at the University of Oslo, he became a groundbreaking spokesman for greater international cooperation on marine research, and his works yielded knowledge about fish stocks in the northern oceans.
Som professor ved Universitetet i Oslo ble han en banebrytende talsmann for sterkere internasjonalt samarbeid innen havforskning og hans arbeider ga kunnskap om fiskebestander i de nordlige havområder.
This exhibition is dedicated to Nansen and his scientific achievements, which contributed to a flourishing of Norwegian research, particularly in such fields as geophysics and marine biology.
Denne utstillingen tar nettopp utgangspunkt i Nansen og det faktum at hans vitenskapelige innsats bidro til en blomstring innenfor norsk forskning, særlig på felter som geofysikk og marin biologi.
We see from the exhibition that this also applies to today's Norwegian researchers on issues related to the High North.
At dette også gjelder for dagens norske forskere som arbeider med spørsmål relatert til nordområdene, ser vi av utstillingen.
By highlighting four prominent researchers from four key Norwegian scientific institutions, it draws lines from Nansen's pioneering efforts to the issues of our time.
Ved å trekke frem fire fremstående forskere fra fire sentrale norske vitenskapelige institusjoner, trekkes linjer fra Nansens pionerinnsats og frem til vår tids problemstillinger.
His impulses live on and continue to inspire us, although today we have satellites and scientific methods that could hardly have been imagined a century ago.
Hans impulser lever videre og inspirerer, selv om vi i dag har satellitter og andre vitenskapelige metoder som man tidligere knapt kunne drømme om.
In spite of our expanded insight, our need for knowledge is just as great today as it was in Nansen’s days.
Og til tross for utvidet innsikt, er kunnskapsbehovet neppe mindre i dag enn på Nansens tid.
Then there is also the fact that where in the past the Arctic was a truly remote location seen in a global perspective, it is today the focus of international interest.
Og så er det dette: Fra å være en ”utkant” globalt sett, er Arktis i dag kommet i sentrum for internasjonal interesse.
This is due to the need for energy and resources, as well as the need for increased knowledge about climate change and the consequences of the melting ice.
Det skjer som en følge av energibehov, ressursbehov, behovet for økt kunnskap om klimaendringene og om konsekvensene av at isen smelter.
Management of the Arctic sea areas and the continental shelf is the responsibility of the Arctic coastal states, and boundaries are determined in accordance with the international law of the sea and by treaties between states.
Forvaltningen av de arktiske havområder og kontinentalsokkel tilfaller de nasjonalstater som grenser opp mot Arktis, og grensene reguleres etter internasjonal havrett og gjennom avtaler mellom statene.
Such agreements provide a solid basis for predictable, long-term resource management and protection of the demanding and vulnerable climate and natural conditions that characterise the region.
Avtalenettverket gir et solid grunnlag for forutsigbar og langsiktig ressursforvaltning og vern om de krevende og sårbare klima- og naturforhold som kjennetegner regionen.
Today, the High North is the Norwegian Government's most important strategic foreign policy priority.
I dag er nordområdene den norske regjeringens viktigste strategiske satsingsområde i utenrikspolitikken.
This has been the case since 2005 – and it will continue to be so.
Slik har det vært siden 2005 – og slik vil det fortsette.
The Government presented its High North Strategy in 2006, and followed it up with the next stage of the strategy, the report New Building Blocks in the North, in 2009.
Selve nordområdestrategien ble lagt frem i 2006 og satsingen ble fulgt opp med neste trinn i strategien som var rapporten Nye byggesteiner i nord i 2009.
In 2011, the Government will present a white paper on its High North policy.
I 2011 legger regjeringen frem en melding til Stortinget om nordområdepolitikken.
The overriding aim continues to be to increase knowledge, activity and presence in the north and to provide a basis for sustainable economic and social development in the years to come.
Den overordnede målsettingen har hele tiden vært å skape økt kunnskap, aktivitet og nærvær i nord og legge grunnlaget for en bærekraftig økonomisk og sosial utvikling i årene fremover.
Sound development in the northern parts of Norway gives us credibility and a solid basis for gaining acceptance internationally for Norwegian points of view on various issues related to the future of the High North.
En god utvikling i Norges nordlige landsdeler gir oss troverdighet og et godt grunnlag for gjennomslag for norske synspunkter internasjonalt i ulike spørsmål som gjelder nordområdenes fremtid.
What primarily drives development in the north is climate change associated with increased human activity, management of the area’s rich natural resources and developments in Russia and relations between Russia and Norway.
Det som først og fremst driver utviklingen i nord, er klimaendringene som bebuder økt menneskelig aktivitet, forvaltningen av de rike naturressursene i området og utviklingen i Russland og det norsk-russiske forholdet.
The agreement on maritime delimitation and cooperation with Russia, which was signed on 15 September 2010 in Murmansk, is a milestone that shows what can be achieved in close cooperation with our large neighbour through long-term negotiations based on modern international law.
Avtalen om maritim avgrensning og samarbeid med Russland (delelinjen), som ble undertegnet 15. september 2010 i Murmansk, er en milepæl og viser hva som er mulig å få til i nært samarbeid med vår store nabo gjennom langsiktige forhandlinger basert på moderne folkerett.
The agreement determines the maritime boundary and opens great opportunities for cooperation on sustainable management and development of natural resources in the Barents Sea and the Arctic Ocean.
Avtalen gir en grense til havs og åpner for store muligheter for samarbeid om bærekraftig forvaltning og utvikling av naturressursene i Barentshavet og Polhavet.
The Government's High North policy focuses on how people, knowledge and competence communities in all parts of Norway can help our neighbouring areas develop in a climate of peace, stability and cooperation.
Regjeringens nordområdepolitikk handler om hvordan folk, kunnskap og kompetansemiljøer i hele Norge kan bidra til at våre nærområder utvikles videre i et klima av fred, stabilitet og samarbeid.
In this way we will facilitate a sound climate policy, responsible resource management and healthy development of business and industry, in the best interests of all those who live in the region.
På den måten legger vi til rette for en god klimapolitikk, en ansvarlig ressursforvaltning og en sunn næringsutvikling, til beste for alle dem som bor i regionen.
All in all, this also means greater security in the north.
Summen av dette er også økt sikkerhet i nord.
This focus on the High North is thus a form of modern society-building where Norway and particularly North Norway are given opportunities for new economic development based on knowledge-intensive industries, in close cooperation with our neighbouring countries.
Denne nordområdesatsingen er dermed et stykke moderne samfunnsbygging hvor Norge og spesielt Nord-Norge gis muligheter til ny økonomisk utvikling basert på kunnskapsintensive næringer og i tett samarbeid med våre naboland.
The focus on development in the High North is a national effort.
Nordområdesatsingen er et nasjonalt løft.
The Norwegian Government can facilitate new development in the north, but it is business and industry, culture, knowledge, resource centres and people – as well as all the cooperation partners from other countries – that can create the truly significant results that will make a difference in the north over time.
Samtidig: Den norske regjeringen kan legge forholdene til rette for ny utvikling i nord, men det er næringsliv, kulturliv, kunnskapsmiljøer og folk selv – samt alle samarbeidspartnere fra andre land – som kan skape de virkelige resultatene som merkes over tid i nord.
Since the launch of the High North strategy, large investments have been made, particularly in research and education.
Siden lanseringen av nordområdestrategien er det investert store beløp innen særlig forskning og utdanning.
Norway intends to be involved in shaping developments in the High North and the Arctic.
Norge skal være med og forme utviklingen i nordområdene og Arktis.
Therefore it is our ambition to be a world leader when it comes to knowledge about this region.
Derfor er vår ambisjon å være ledende på kunnskap om denne regionen.
Faced with today's challenges, we recognise many of the issues Nansen drew attention to, and we find inspiration in his emphasis on the balance between climatic conditions, resources and settlement patterns.
I møte med dagens utfordringer gjenkjenner vi også mange av de problemstillinger som Nansen pekte på – og vi finner inspirasjon i hans understrekning av balansen mellom klimatiske forhold, ressurser og bosetting.
The people who live in the Arctic are the most important resource the region has.
Menneskene i Arktis er den viktigste ressurs regionen har.
Their experience and ways of life are the basis for developing new knowledge about the region.
Deres erfaringsgrunnlag og levesett er utgangspunktet for utvikling av ny kunnskap om regionen.
Research based on international cooperation and transparency is a key element in these efforts.
Forskning tuftet på internasjonalt samarbeid og åpenhet er én nøkkel i dette arbeidet.
Issues relating to the Arctic are met with great interest virtually everywhere in the world.
I nær sagt hele verden møter spørsmål knyttet til Arktis i dag stor interesse.
Here is one example: In connection with the conclusion of the International Polar Year in 2010, 2300 researchers from 50 countries convened in Oslo.
Ett eksempel: I forbindelse med avslutningen av Det Internasjonale Polaråret (IPY) i 2010 satte 2300 forskere fra 50 land hverandre stevne i Oslo.
Norway has a leading role in this work and is one of the four or five foremost nations in the field of polar research.
Norge har en ledende rolle i dette arbeidet og teller blant de fire-fem fremste nasjonene innen polarforskning.
Cooperation with our neighbour Russia in the north is extremely important.
Samarbeidet med vår nabo Russland i nord er her et kjernepunkt.
Fridtjof Nansen's life was closely linked with Russia – a country which he was intensely fascinated by.
Fridtjof Nansens liv var tett forbundet med Russland – et land han var sterkt fascinert av.
He inspired not only Norwegians but also many Russians.
Han inspirerte ikke bare nordmenn, men også mange russere.
It is therefore appropriate that this exhibition will be shown in several locations in Russia, particularly in a year that coincides with the 300th anniversary of the Russian multi-scientist, poet and polar entrepreneur Mikhail Lomonosov from Arkhangelsk.
Det er derfor naturlig at denne utstillingen vises flere steder i Russland og spesielt i et år som faller sammen med 300-årsjubileet for den russiske multivitenskapsmann, poet og polarentreprenøren Mikhail Lomonosov fra Arkhangelsk.
Scientific cooperation between Norway and Russia is crucial for dealing with the challenges facing us today, for example in connection with shipping, fisheries and offshore activities in the region.
Det naturvitenskapelige samarbeidet mellom Norge og Russland står sentralt i de utfordringer vi i dag ser innen blant annet skipsfart, fiskeri og offshorevirksomhet i regionen.
Svalbard has now become a meeting place for international research.
Svalbard er blitt en møteplass for internasjonal forskning.
Researchers from all corners of the globe flock to Ny-Ålesund, reflecting the international interest in participating in research on major global climate challenges.
Ny-Ålesund huser forskere fra alle verdenshjørner og speiler den internasjonale interessen og behovet for å være tilstede og delta i arbeidet med forskning på de store globale klimautfordringene.
The Arctic is a region where the impact of climate change can be followed at close range.
Arktis er en region hvor effektene av klimaendringene kan følges på nært hold.
Together with Former US Vice President Al Gore, I presented a report on the melting ice at the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in 2009.
USAs tidligere visepresident Al Gore og jeg la frem en rapport om issmeltingen på klimatoppmøtet i København i 2009.
The consequences are increased global warming, which will in turn lead to rising sea levels and impact tropical climate and conditions for agriculture and other activities in a number of countries.
Konsekvensene er økt global oppvarming som vil øke vannstanden i verdenshavene og påvirke både det tropiske klima og forholdene for landbruk og annen virksomhet i en lang rekke land.
These changes are dramatic and pose major challenges for the world's population.
Disse endringene er dramatiske og stiller verdens befolkning overfor store utfordringer.
