Statsbesøket ble innledet i Warszawa onsdag med signering av tre nye samarbeidsprogrammer innen forskning, utdanningsstipend og kultur.
This is part of Norway’s contribution to Poland through the EEA and Norway Grants.
Dette er en del av Norges bidrag til Polen gjennom EØS-midlene.
Some NOK 4.5 billion have been allocated to programmes and projects in various sectors for the period up to 2016.
Fram til 2016 er det satt av omlag 4,5 milliarder kroner til programmer og prosjekter innenfor ulike sektorer.

Around NOK 280 million will be used for cooperation projects between Norwegian and Polish researchers.
Omlag 280 millioner kroner går til samarbeidsprosjekter mellom norske og polske forskere.
Priority research areas include the environment, health and gender equality.
Forskning innen miljø, helse og likestilling er blant de prioriterte områdene.
“Cooperation between beneficiary and donor countries is a key aspect of the EEA and Norway Grants.
– Samarbeid mellom mottaker- og giverland er en helt sentral dimensjon ved EØS-midlene.
This is fostering lasting ties and helping to bind Norway and Poland closer together,” said Mr Støre.
Dette skaper varige bånd og knytter Norge og Polen tettere sammen, sier Støre.
Several other topics are on the programme for the three-day state visit.
Under det tre dager lange statsbesøket står også flere andre tema på programmet.
Seminars will be held on defence cooperation, tourism, green growth and modern working life, with emphasis on cooperation between the social partners and the authorities.

”These agreements take Norway’s international climate- and forest initiative one step further.
- Disse avtalene tar Norges internasjonale regnskogarbeid et steg videre.
It is also estimated to be one of the world’s four largest tropical forest carbon stores.
Peru er verdens femte største regnskogland, og har verdens fjerde største karbonlager bundet opp i tropisk skog.
The Amazonian forest located within the Peruvian boarders is under increasing pressure from agricultural activity, mining, expanding infrastructure and the oil industry.
Perus del av Amazonas er under økende press fra landbruk, gruvedrift, oljeindustri og infrastrukturprosjekter.
”Peru’s forests are essential in the global fight to reduce climate change.
Perus skoger er viktige i det globale arbeidet med å redusere klimaendringene.
They also contain unique animal- and plant species, and are home to numerous indigenous peoples.
De inneholder også helt unike dyre- og plantearter, og er hjemmet til mange urfolksgrupper.
The agreement we have signed today is in other words vital to protect climate, biodiversity and people”, said Solberg.
Avtalen vi har signert i dag er med andre ord viktig for klima, naturmangfold og mennesker, sa Solberg.
In addition, the agreement can help reduce the risk of increased deforestation in Peru as a consequence of vast deforestation reductions in Brazil over the past years.
Avtalen kan også redusere risikoen for at avskogingen i Peru øker som følge av Brasils store reduksjoner i avskogingen de senere årene.
Liberia’s forests are also under great pressure, from commercial logging, agriculture and coal production.
Liberias skoger er også under stort press fra kommersiell hogst, landbruk og trekullproduksjon.
“With the ongoing Ebola crisis in Liberia, we fully appreciate that the main focus at present is the safety and wellbeing of the Liberian people.
I den krisen Liberia er inne i, er vi selvsagt innforstått med at Liberias hovedprioritet er befolkningens sikkerhet og helse.

Giverlandene har forpliktet seg til å gi 25,1 milliarder USD til IDA for treårsperioden 2008-2010.
The fund will total USD 41.6 billion, an increase of 30 per cent from the previous replenishment in 2004.
Totalt blir bidraget til fondet på 41,6 milliarder USD, en økning på 30 prosent fra forrige påfylling i 2004.
This amount includes funding for various initiatives to cancel developing countries’ debts.
Økningen inkluderer kompensasjon for de ulike initiativene for å slette utviklingslandenes gjeld.
Adjusted for inflation, Norway’s contribution to IDA will be NOK 779 million annually for the next three years.
Etter en inflasjonsjustering blir Norges bidrag til IDA på 779 millioner kroner årlig de kommende tre årene.
This represents an increase of NOK 51 million, or seven per cent.

In its budget for 2008, the Government had proposed an increase of NOK 80 million in the annual allocation to IDA.
Regjeringen hadde i forslaget til statsbudsjett for 2008 lagt inn en økning på 80 millioner kroner til IDA.
“We are still not completely satisfied with the progress of the World Bank as regards adherence to its conditionality principles.
– Vi er fortsatt ikke helt fornøyde med de fremskrittene Verdensbanken har gjort for å etterleve sine prinsipper om kondisjonalitet.
That is why we have reduced the increase.
Derfor har vi redusert økningen.
Instead, Norway will use some of this amount to put the Bank in a better position to assess the social consequences of its policies, by financing Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA).
I stedet vil Norge bruke deler av dette beløpet til å sette banken bedre i stand til å vurdere de sosiale konsekvensene av sin politikk, gjennom å finansiere såkalte Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA).
The UK is increasing its contribution by 49 per cent, making it the largest contributor to IDA.
Storbritannia øker sitt bidrag med 49 prosent, og blir dermed den største giveren til IDA.
Norway remains among the 15 largest donors.
Norge er fortsatt blant de 15 største giverne.
The World Bank is to complete new evaluations of its conditionality practices by the summer of 2009.

Norway will provide NOK 1.6 billion (USD 258 mill) to the Green Climate Fund over the next four years.
Norge vil bidra med 1,6 milliarder kroner til Det grønne klimafondet for de kommende fire årene.
Thanks to this increase in Norway’s contribution, the goal of USD 10 billion is now within reach.
Takket være økningen i det norske bidraget er målet om ti milliarder dollar nå innen rekkevidde.
‘The Green Climate Fund has great potential and can play a key role in reaching a global climate agreement in Paris in 2015,’ said Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende.
– Det grønne klimafondet har et stort potensiale og kan bli avgjørende for å oppnå en global klimaavtale i Paris i 2015, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
As a result of the budget agreement between the Government and the Christian Democratic Party and the Liberal Party, Norway’s allocation to the Fund will be increased to NOK 400 million in 2015.
Som følge av budsjettforliket med KrF og Venstre økes bevilgningen til klimafondet til 400 millioner kroner i 2015.
‘Global climate change is one of the greatest challenges the world has to deal with in the coming years.
- De globale klimaendringene er én av de største utfordringene vi står overfor i de kommende årene.
This is crucial for ensuring sustainable growth and development in poor countries, which will often be most severely affected by climate change,’ said Foreign Minister Brende.
Dette er viktig for å sikre en bærekraftig økonomisk vekst og utvikling i fattige land, som ofte er hardest rammet av klimaendringene, sier utenriksministeren.
‘Norway is working towards a climate agreement in 2015 in which all countries will participate.
- Norge arbeider for en klimaavtale i 2015 der alle land deltar.
Sufficient contributions to the Green Climate Fund, which is now approaching USD 10 billion, will provide a positive impetus to the negotiations.
En god påfylling av det grønne fondet, som nå nærmer seg ti milliarder dollar, vil gi positiv drahjelp til forhandlingene.
Rich countries must provide the greatest share of the funding, but all countries that have the economic capacity should contribute.
Rike land må stå for den største del av klimafinansieringen, men alle land med økonomisk kapasitet må bidra.
At the Fund’s first pledging conference in November, a total of USD 9.3 billion was promised.
På fondets første givermøte i november, ble det gitt løfter om til sammen 9,3 milliarder dollar.
Without the increase in funding from Norway, this would have been very difficult.
Uten økningen i det norske bidraget ville dette blitt svært vanskelig.
Mr Brende has previously announced that climate-related efforts will be given higher priority in Norway’s foreign and development policy.
Utenriksministeren har tidligere varslet at arbeidet med klima skal gis økt prioritet i Norges utenriks- og utviklingspolitikk.
Focus areas include forest conservation, access to clean energy, phasing out fossil-fuel subsidies, promotion of food and nutritional security, provision of weather and climate services, support for agricultural research, prevention of natural disasters, and conservation of biodiversity.
Deriblant skogbevaring, tilgang til ren energi, utfasing av fossile subsidier, satsingen på mat- og ernæringssikkerhet, vær- og klimatjenester, landbruksforskning, forebygging av naturkatastrofer og bevaring av naturmangfold.
