More Norwegian funding for health in developing countries
Økt norsk støtte til helse i utviklingsland
The Government is to increase the Norwegian commitment to rainforest conservation.
Økt norsk satsing på regnskog
The Government is to increase the Norwegian commitment to rainforest conservation.
Regjeringen øker den norske satsingen på bevaring av regnskogen.
“Norwegian commitment to the rainforests is a climate measure we know works.
-Norsk satsing på regnskog er et klimatiltak vi vet virker.
We are now boosting this by 134 million kroner, which will help us to achieve our international ambitions,” said Climate and Environment Minister Tine Sundtoft.
Vi styrker nå denne satsingen med 134 millioner kroner og øker dermed våre internasjonale ambisjoner, sier klima- og miljøminister Tine Sundtoft.
If global warming is to be limited to two degrees, we need to curb the destruction of the world's rainforests.
Hvis den globale oppvarmingen skal begrenses til to grader er vi nødt til å bremse ødeleggelsene av verdens regnskoger.
This is where Norway has contributed through the Norwegian Climate and Forest Initiative since 2008.
Det er dette Norge har bidratt til gjennom det norske klima- og skoginitiativet siden 2008.
“The coalition government is today presenting a budget that ensures that the Norwegian Climate and Forest Initiative remains a spearhead in Norway’s international climate efforts.
-Høyre-Frp-regjeringen legger i dag fram et budsjett som sikrer at klima- og skogprosjektet forblir en spydspiss i Norges internasjonale bidrag for klimaet.
I am proud that we have provided three billion kroner to the Norwegian Climate and Forest Initiative this year, which is the highest amount given by Norway,” said Sundtoft.
Jeg er stolt over at årets bevilgning til klima- og skogsatsingen er på tre milliarder kroner, som er det høyeste beløpet gitt fra Norge, sier Sundtoft.
Rainforest conservation is an area where Norway plays a strong role internationally.
Regnskogsbevaring er et område der Norge markerer seg tungt internasjonalt.
So far, Norway has provided more than NOK 10 billion for measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation.
Så langt har Norge utbetalt over 10 milliarder kroner til tiltak som skal få ned klimagassutslippene fra avskoging.
Adjusted priorities for rainforest efforts
Justerte prioriteringer for regnskogsatsingen
Two evaluation reports on the Norwegian Climate and Forest Initiative (the Strategic Evaluation Report and the Norad Follow-up Evaluation ) presented in 2014 give the initiative a good score on goal achievement.
To evalueringsrapporter om den norske klima- og skogsatsingen (Strategisk evalueringsrapport og Norads følgeevaluering ) som er lagt fram i 2014 gir satsningen gode karakterer på måloppnåelse.
Based on these evaluations, the government is now making some adjustments to the future priorities of the initiative.
Basert på disse evalueringene gjør regjeringen enkelte justeringer i satsingens prioriteringer framover.
Collaboration with the private sector to be strengthened, and to be an overall strategy for the initiative.
Samarbeid med privat sektor skal styrkes og være en gjennomgående strategi for satsingen.
Measures to improve forest management to be integrated into broader processes of creating green economic growth in developing countries.
Tiltak for å bedre skogforvaltningen skal integreres i bredere prosesser for å skape grønn økonomisk vekst i utviklingslandene.
The Government will continue, and consider increasing, its support for an active civil society in efforts to reduce deforestation in developing countries.
Regjeringen vil videreføre, og vurdere en styrking av støtten til et aktivt sivilt samfunn i arbeidet for redusert avskoging i utviklingsland.

Payment for performance, primarily in the form of emission reductions, will continue to be the primary focus of the initiative.
Betaling for resultater, først og fremst i form av utslippsreduksjoner, skal fortsatt være satsingens primære fokus.
“We are cultivating the profile of the Norwegian Climate and Forest Initiative.
-Vi rendyrker klima- og skogsatsingens profil.
The changes in priorities mean that we will eventually be able to achieve better results, in terms of both emission reduction and poverty alleviation.
Endringene i prioriteringene betyr at vi på sikt vil kunne oppnå bedre resultater, både hva gjelder utslippskutt og fattigdomsreduksjon.
It is important for me to emphasise that emission reductions and growth can go hand in hand,” said Sundtoft.
Det er viktig for meg å understreke at utslippskutt og vekst kan gå hånd i hånd, sier Sundtoft.
The Norwegian contribution is important
Norsk bidrag viktig
The evaluation of the Norwegian Climate and Forest Initiative presented earlier this year shows that the initiative contributes to sustainable development, the strengthening of indigenous rights and the preservation of the livelihoods of local communities.
Evalueringen av klima- og skogsatsingen som ble lagt fram tidligere i år viser at satsingen bidrar til bærekraftig utvikling, til å styrke urfolks rettigheter og til å bevare livsgrunnlaget for lokalsamfunn.
The evaluation also showed that funding from Norway has played a key role in the progress of international efforts to conserve the world’s remaining rainforests.
Evalueringen viste også at pengene fra Norge har spilt en sentral rolle i framdriften i det internasjonale arbeidet for å bevare verdens gjenværende regnskoger.
Over 40 percent of the funds have gone to Brazil.
Over 40 prosent av midlene er utbetalt til Brasil.

Adjusted priorities
Justerte prioriteringer
Increased Norwegian commitment to rainforests

Increased budget for peace, reconciliation and humanitarian assistance
Økt satsing på fred, forsoning og humanitær bistand
Total allocations for peace and reconciliation efforts, human rights, democracy and humanitarian assistance will amount to more than NOK 4.4 billion in 2008.
Den samlede bistanden til fred og forsoningsarbeid, menneskerettigheter, demokrati og humanitær bistand vil være på over 4,4 milliarder kroner i 2008.
The UN plays a key role in Norway’s peace and humanitarian efforts, and Norway is a major contributor to the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).
FN er sentral i Norges freds- og humanitære innsats og Norge er en betydelig bidragsyter til FNs nødhjelpsfond (CERF).
It is proposed that support for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) be increased by NOK 70 million.
Støtten til FNs høykommissær for flyktninger (UNHCR) foreslås økt med 70 millioner kroner.
Therefore, the various measures must be tailored both to the geography and to the political situation, for example with regard to Sudan, Afghanistan and the Middle East.
Derfor må de mange tiltakene skreddersys i forhold til både geografi og situasjon, blant annet i forhold til Sudan, Afghanistan og Midtøsten.
The Government is also proposing increased allocations for development and peacebuilding in countries that have recently emerged from a crisis or conflict.
Regjeringen øker også bistanden til utvikling og fredsbygging i land som nylig har kommet ut av en krise eller konflikt.
This is extremely important in order to stabilise the peace and lay the groundwork for necessary development,” said Minister of International Development Erik Solheim.
Dette er svært viktig for å stabilisere freden og for å legge til rette for nødvendig utvikling, sier utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
