When I am abroad, it strikes me how visible the UN is at country level, outside the focus of the TV cameras: the many specialised organisations, funds and programmes that belong to the UN family, for example UNDP, UNICEF, UNHCR, OCHA, WHO, with WTO and ILO as part of the extended family – all in all more than 60 different entities.
Når jeg er i utlandet, slår det meg hvor synlig FN er på landnivå, utenfor TV-kameraenes fokus; de mange særorganisasjonene, alle fondene og programmene i hele FN-familien, som UNDP, Unicef, UNHCR, Ocha, WHO – og med WTO og ILO som del av den utvidede familien – alt i alt over 60 ulike organer.
When the microphones are switched off, it is the staff of these entities who continue to provide support for the most vulnerable.
Når mikrofonene slås av, er det medarbeiderne i alle disse organisasjonene som er tilbake for å støtte de mest sårbare.
The UN provides food aid, water, health personnel, vaccines, malaria nets and many other kinds of assistance that help to save the lives of millions of children each year.
FN betyr matvarehjelp, vann, helsepersonell, vaksiner, malarianett og mange andre former for innsats som redder millioner av barn fra å dø hvert år.
The UN provides tents, fuel, schools and teachers in areas that have been laid waste by earthquakes and cyclones.
FN betyr telt, brensel, skoler og lærere der jordskjelv og sykloner har lagt land øde.
The UN is vital to the hundreds of millions who live in poverty and deprivation.
Det er helt avgjørende for de hundrevis av millioner som lever i fattigdom og nød.
But this is also good security policy, because all of these measures make the world more secure for us all.
Men dette er også god sikkerhetspolitikk, for alt dette er tiltak som skaper en tryggere verden for oss alle.
It lies in the nature of the matter that an organisation with the UN’s mandate tends to be blamed for the woes of the world.
For en organisasjon med et mandat som FNs, ligger det i sakens natur at organisasjonen lett får skylden for verdens mangler.
We must therefore specify the following: we must work tirelessly to crack down on and improve bad governance and resource management wherever they occur.
Derfor må vi nyansere: Vi må hvileløst jobbe for å forbedre og slå ned på dårlig styring og ressursbruk, der det måtte finnes.
Our aim must be to further develop and strengthen the UN, precisely in order to make this global organisation an even more effective tool.
Motivasjonen må være å arbeide videre med å utvikle og styrke FN – nettopp for å gjøre verdensorganisasjonen til et enda bedre instrument.
So far I have not heard any convincing argument for an alternative to the UN.
Men jeg har til nå ikke hørt overbevisende argumenter for alternativer til FN.
In the light of the importance we attach to the UN, any erosion of the UN’s authority would be serious.
I lys av den betydningen vi tillegger FN, er det alvorlig om FNs autoritet blir svekket.
Much of its authority derives from the position of the UN Secretary-General.
Mye av denne autoriteten ligger i selve embetet: FNs generalsekretær.
But he alone is not able to strengthen the authority that comes with being the world’s most important global representative – or the holder of what is possibly the most impossible job in the world, as the first Secretary-General, Trygve Lie, put it.
Men han alene kan ikke styrke den autoriteten som tilligger det å være verdens fremste internasjonale tillitsmann – det å inneha kanskje verdens vanskeligste jobb, som den første generalsekretæren, Trygve Lie, sa det.
Norway funds about 0.8 per cent of the UN’s regular budget and the budget for peacekeeping operations.
Norge bidrar med om lag 0,8 prosent av FNs regulære budsjett og til de fredsbevarende operasjoner.
Norway is also an important contributor to the UN’s humanitarian and development efforts.
I tillegg er Norge en viktig bidragsyter til FNs utviklingsarbeid og humanitære arbeid.
We provide more funding per capita than any other country.
Vi gir mest i verden per innbygger.
All of this gives us more weight in UN governing bodies.
Alt dette gir oss en tyngde i FN-organenes styrer.
We aim to make use of the influence we have, and to become better “owners” of the UN.
Vi jobber for å bruke den innflytelsen vi har, og vi jobber for å bli bedre ”eiere” av FN.
There are major crossroads ahead of us.
Store veikryss ligger foran oss.
The Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen will be conducted under UN auspices.
I København blir det klimamøte i FN-regi.
In 2010 we will once again take stock of what progress we have made towards reaching the millennium development goal of halving extreme poverty by 2015.
I 2010 skal vi på nytt gjøre opp status for hvordan vi ligger an for å nå FNs tusenårsmål om å halvere ekstrem fattigdom innen 2015.
Together with the UN, we will continue our campaign to significantly reduce the number of children who die of disease and hunger, of mothers who die in connection with childbirth, and of children and adults who die of Aids, tuberculosis and malaria.
Vi skal her fortsette vår globale kampanje, sammen med FN, for å redusere kraftig antallet barn som dør av sykdom og sult, mødre som dør i barsel og barn og voksne som dør av aids, tuberkulose og malaria.
We will also be holding a major UN conference on nuclear non-proliferation – an area where developments in Asia are a cause of particular concern.
Vi skal gjennomføre en stor FN-konferanse om ikke-spredning av atomvåpen – og hvor det særlig er utviklingen i Asia som bekymrer oss.
There is once again focus on the UN, now that President Obama has charted a course that is completely different from the one followed under President Bush.
FN kommer på nytt i fokus etter at president Obama har lagt inn på en helt annen kurs enn under Bush.
We will see this demonstrated when President Obama and other heads of state and government meet in New York in three weeks.
Dette vil vi se bevis for når Obama og et hundretalls stats- og regjeringssjefer møtes i New York om tre uker.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will rally the world leaders to address the global challenge of climate change, and Norway’s prime minister will be one of the participants.
Der vil også generalsekretær Ban Ki-moon samle verdens ledere om de globale klimautfordringene, og Norges statsminister vil delta.
Here again, the UN is the global forum of our time.
Igjen er FN den globale møteplass for vår tid.
This is why climate change – possibly the greatest challenge facing our civilisation – will figure prominently in our talks with the UN Secretary-General in Oslo and Svalbard during the next few days.
Derfor står vår sivilisasjons kanskje aller største utfordring – klimaendringene – sentralt i våre samtaler med FNs generalsekretær i Oslo og på Svalbard de neste dagene.

Speech at CISV summer camp
Tale på CISVs barneleir

Measures in forests can contribute with up to one-third of the effort that is needed to limit global warming to well below two degrees.
Tiltak i å redusere avskoging kan bidra med opptil en tredel av den innsatsen som må til for å begrense global oppvarming til godt under to grader.
Through its international climate and forest initiative, Norway has pledged up to 3 billion NOK annually for this effort.
Norge har gjennom sin klima- og skogsatsing lovet inntil 3 milliarder årlig til dette arbeidet.
The Paris agreement will underpin efforts to reduce deforestation, in the years to come.
Parisavtalen vil underbygge innsatsen på skog i årene framover.
Many countries have included forest sector measures in their nationally determined contributions under the agreement.
Mange land har inkludert tiltak i skog i sine nasjonale bidrag.
Norway and the US will support implementation of these climate targets, in cooperation with ambitious forest countries.
Norge og USA vil støtte opp under gjennomføring av disse klimamålene, i samarbeid med ambisiøse skogland.
“This isn't just an environmental issue.
- Dette er ikke bare et miljøspørsmål.
It's an economic issue.
Det er et økonomisk spørsmål.
It's an energy issue.
Det er et energispørsmål.
It's an issue that touches on our deepest values and our basic sense of responsibility as stewards of the fragile planet we inhabit.
Det er et tema som berører våre kjerneverdier og vår grunnleggende ansvarsfølelse som voktere av den skjøre planeten vi bor på.
The private sector must join
- Næringslivet må med
- Interest in investing climate-friendly, in tomorrow's solutions, is on the rise.
- Det er økende interesse for å investere klimavennlig.
We will support business strategies for deforestation free supply chains.
Vi vil støtte oppunder næringslivets strategier for å ha forsyningskjeder som ikke fører til avskoging.
Business and the financial sector must be part of the solution.
Næringslivet og finanssektoren må være en del av løsningen.
I hope the global investor community will engage more in sustainable forest and land use, said Minister Helgesen.
Jeg håper norsk finansnæring vil engasjere seg mer i dette, oppfordrer Helgesen.
The joint statement between Norway and the US also highlights combating illegal logging and illegal deforestation as an area of priority.
Felleserklæringen framhever også bekjemping av illegal hogst som et prioritert område.
According to Interpol, illegal logging accounts for 50-90 per cent of all forestry activities in key producer tropical forests, such as those of the Amazon Basin, Central Africa and Southeast Asia, and 15-30 per cent of all wood traded globally.
Interpol har beregnet at illegal hogst står for 50-90 prosent av all skogaktivitet i tropiske skogland i Amazonas, Sentral-Afrika og Sørøst-Asia.
Illegal logging also occurs in many formally protected forests, especially in tropical countries.
Den illegale hogsten foregår også i mange verneområder.
The trade in illegally harvested timber is highly lucrative and estimated to be worth between USD 30 and USD 100 billion annually.
Handel med illegalt tømmer er svært lønnsomt, og er antatt å ha en verdi på mellom 30 og 100 amerikanske dollar årlig.
Experiences from Brazil show that halting illegal logging can give rapid and considerable reduction in deforestation.
Erfaringene fra Brasil viser at å stanse ulovlig hogst kan gi rask nedgang i avskogingen.
However, it is a challenge that many countries have low capacity to implement and enforce legislation and forest protection.
Imidlertid er en utfordring at mange land har svak kapasitet til å håndheve lovgivning og skogvern.
- Illegal logging is not just a forest problem, it is also part of the financial basis of international organised crime.
- Illegal hogst er ikke bare et skogproblem, det er også en del av finansieringen av internasjonal organisert kriminalitet.
This is another reason why we raise this issue higher on the agenda, says minister Helgesen.
Derfor ønsker vi å løfte dette temaet, sier Helgesen.

A World Free of Nuclear Weapons?
En verden uten kjernevåpen?
Since September 2005, Norway has headed the Seven-Nation Initiative on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, aimed at further reducing the number of nuclear weapons and strengthening international efforts to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
Norge har siden september 2005 ledet et internasjonalt arbeid, Syvlandsinitiativet, for å oppnå ytterligere nedskjæringer i antall kjernevåpen og styrke den internasjonale innsatsen for å hindre spredning av masseødeleggelsesvåpen.
