Climate Change a Threat to Polar Bears – Norway to Host International Meeting Under the Polar Bear Agreement
Klimaendringene truer isbjørnen – Norge inviterer til partsmøte under Isbjørnavtalen
Norway invites the Contracting Parties to the 1973 Polar Bear Agreement, Denmark/Greenland, Russia, USA and Canada, to a meeting of the parties in Tromsø spring 2009.
Norge inviterer landene som har isbjørn, Danmark/Grønland, Russland, USA og Canada, til partsmøte under Isbjørnavtalen i Tromsø våren 2009.
Climate change also makes the polar bear more vulnerable to other threats such as hazardous chemicals, hunting, disturbances and encroachment upon their natural habitat.
Klimaendringene gjør også isbjørnen mer sårbar for annen påvirkning som miljøgifter, jakt, forstyrrelser og naturinngrep i leveområdene.
Many polar bear populations are shared between neighbouring countries, and polar bears migrate across national borders.
Isbjørnbestandene i Arktis henger sammen og krysser de nasjonale grensene.
This means that activities in one area may affect polar bears in other countries.
Dette betyr at aktiviteter i ett område kan påvirke bestandene også i andre land.
Climate change and increased industrial activity in many parts of the Arctic therefore requires reinforced international cooperation on the management of polar bears, says minister of the Environment and International Development Erik Solheim.
Klimaendringene og økt industriell aktivitet i mange deler av Arktis krever derfor et styrket internasjonalt samarbeid om forvaltningen av isbjørnbestandene, uttaler miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim
Around 1970 widespread hunting had reduced polar bear populations in many parts of the Arctic, including Svalbard.
Omkring 1970 var det bekymring for at utbredt jakt hadde redusert isbjørnbestandene i mange deler av Arktis, inkludert Svalbard.
The polar bear Range States Norway, Denmark/Greenland, Russia, USA and Canada entered into an agreement in 1973 to protect polar bears and their habitat.
Isbjørnlandene Norge, Danmark/Grønland, Russland, USA og Canada inngikk derfor i 1973 en avtale om beskyttelse av isbjørnen og dens leveområder.
As a result hunting was reduced and the populations recovered.
Dette bidro til at jakten ble redusert og bestandene tok seg opp igjen.
The five Contracting Parties met last time in Oslo 1981 and decided then that the agreement would be valid indefinitely.
De fem landene møttes sist til partsmøte i Oslo i 1981, og ble da enige om at avtalen skal gjelde på ubestemt tid.
On Svalbard the hunting of polar bear has been banned since 1972.
På Svalbard har isbjørnen vært fredet siden 1972.
- Climate change presents a far more serious threat to polar bears than we previously thought.
- Klimaendringene som nå rammer Arktis gjør at trusselen mot isbjørnbestandene framstår som langt mer alvorlig enn vi tidligere har trodd.
Norway will therefore invite the other polar bear Range States to a meeting of the parties to the Polar Bear Agreement in Tromsø during spring 2009.
Norge vil derfor invitere de øvrige isbjørnlandene til partsmøte under Isbjørnavtalen i Tromsø våren 2009.
I envisage that such meetings will be arranged every second year from now on, Solheim says.
Deretter ser jeg for meg at det arrangeres slike partsmøter hvert annet år, sier Solheim.
This is in accordance with the recommendations from an informal meeting between the five polar bear Range States in USA in June this year.
Dette er også i tråd med anbefalingene fra et uformelt møte mellom de fem isbjørnlandene i USA i juni i år.
- Such revitalization of the Polar Bear Agreement will in our view contribute to a better coordination of research and management between the polar bear Range States.
- En slikt revitalisering av Isbjørnavtalen vil bidra til bedre samordning av forskning og forvaltning mellom isbjørnlandene.
A follow up of the Polar Bear Agreement will also contribute to increased focus on the consequences of climate change, and could provide important input to other international processes related to climate, hazardous chemicals and habitat protection in the Arctic.
En tettere oppfølging av Isbjørnavtalen vil også bidra til økt fokus på konsekvensene av klimaendringene, og vil kunne gi viktige innspill til andre internasjonale prosesser knyttet til klima, miljøgifter og områdevern i Arktis.
Not least, such initiative will be important for the cooperation under the Arctic Council, where climate change, hazardous chemicals and protection of biological diversity in the Arctic are important issues, and where Norway at present holds the chairmanship, Solheim underlines.
Ikke minst vil et slikt initiativ være viktig for samarbeidet under Arktisk Råd, der klima, miljøgifter og vern av det biologiske mangfoldet i Arktis er viktige tema, og der Norge for tiden har formannskapet, sier Solheim,
- I will ask the Norwegian Directorate for Nature Management and The Norwegian Polar Institute to prepare the meeting of the parties in Tromsø spring 2009, the minister of the environment and international development concludes.
- Jeg vil nå be Direktoratet for naturforvaltning og Norsk Polarinstitutt om å forberede partsmøtet i Tromsø våren 2009, avslutter miljø- og utviklingsministeren.
Fiscal policy affects the economy through several channels, with varying time lags.
Finanspolitikken virker på økonomien gjennom flere kanaler og med varierende tidsetterslep.
This means that fiscal policy can play a role in stabilizing economic fluctuations.
Det åpner for at finanspolitikken kan spille en rolle i å stabilisere konjunktursvingninger.
Thus it will affect the economy’s ability to handle structural adjustments, such as the petroleum sector’s declining importance for the Norwegian economy.
Dermed får den betydning for økonomiens evne til å håndtere omstillinger, for eksempel når petroleumsvirksomheten etter hvert blir mindre viktig.
