As a maritime nation, we have a great responsibility for maintaining a presence in our sea areas and for developing maritime surveillance and emergency response capacity. 
Som havnasjon har vi et stort ansvar for å være til stede i våre havområder og utvikle overvåkning og beredskap.
The increase in both shipping and petroleum activities will heighten the need for pollution preparedness and response. 
Både økt skipstrafikk og petroleumsaktivitet gjør behovet for miljøvernberedskap større.
In order to enhance emergency preparedness in vulnerable areas along the coast, the Government intends to establish an oil spill preparedness and response base on the islands of Lofoten and Vesterålen. 
For å styrke beredskapen i sårbare områder langs kysten ønsker regjeringen å etablere miljøbase/oljevernbase i Lofoten og Vesterålen.
And we must ensure that the Armed Forces have in-depth knowledge of the High North, and the ability and capacity to take action. 
Og vi må sikre at Forsvaret har god kunnskap om nordområdene og evne og kapasitet til å handle.
Russia is the most important Arctic state in terms of territory, resources and activities. 
Russland er den viktigste arktiske staten – uansett om målestokken er territorium, ressurser eller aktiviteter.
For example, the Russian part of the Arctic is home to seven million people, whereas the three northernmost counties of Norway have 468 000 inhabitants. 
Til sammenlikning: den russiske delen av Arktis har sju millioner innbyggere, mens våre tre nordligste fylker har 468.000.
Russia has jurisdiction over half the Arctic coastline. 
Russland har råderett over halvparten av den arktiske kystlinjen.
Russia is our neighbour in the north. 
Russland er vår nabo i nord.
We are addressing many of the opportunities and challenges in the north together with Russia. 
Mange av mulighetene og utfordringene i nord møter vi sammen med Russland.
We have been doing so through our broad bilateral relationship with Russia and through two decades of Barents cooperation. 
Det har vi gjort gjennom det brede bilaterale forholdet til Russland og ikke minst gjennom to tiår i Barentssamarbeidet.
We enjoy close cooperation with Russia, and we also have an open dialogue on issues where we disagree. 
Vi har et nært og godt samarbeid med Russland, også en åpen dialog om temaer der vi er uenige.
Until 25 years ago, the border was a barrier. 
Grensen var inntil for 25 år siden en barriere.
We want to turn it into a bridge – to continue and intensify our cross-border cooperation. 
Vi ønsker å gjøre den til en bro – at det grensenære samarbeidet videreføres og utdypes.
The Government intends to extend the opening hours and increase capacity at the border station at Storskog. 
Regjeringen vil utvide åpningstiden og kapasiteten ved grensestasjonen på Storskog.
Knowledge is key in our relations with Russia. 
I møtet med Russland står kunnskap sentralt.
We must recognise that the High North and the Arctic are not a uniform area. 
Vi må erkjenne at nordområdene og Arktis ikke er et ensartet område.
In our part of the region, we have been able to build up expertise in business development and resource management over a longer period of time than has been the case in most other parts of the region. 
I våre områder har vi lengre enn de fleste andre steder i Arktis kunnet bygge opp kompetanse både innen næringsutvikling og forvaltning.
Due to the Gulf Stream, our Arctic areas have been accessible for petroleum activities, for example, since the 1980s. 
Områdene har vært tilgjengelige takket være Golfstrømmen, blant annet for petroleumsaktivitet siden 1980-tallet.
Our expertise in High North issues makes Norway a leading actor and an important partner in the region. 
Vår nordområdekompetanse gjør Norge til en ledende aktør i nord og i møte med våre partnere.
In the US too, there is clearly a growing interest in the Arctic, and not just in Alaska. 
Også i USA er det en tydelig økende interesse for Arktis også i områder utenfor Alaska.
Secretary of State Kerry launched the US Arctic strategy in May this year. 
Utenriksminister Kerry lanserte den amerikanske arktisstrategien i mai i år.
In 2015, the US will take over the chairmanship of the Arctic Council from Canada. 
USA overtar i 2015 formannskapet i Arktisk råd fra Canada.
Secretary of State Kerry has already indicated that he will give priority to climate issues and the environment during the US chairmanship. 
Utenriksminister Kerry har tidligere indikert at han vil legge stor vekt på klima og miljø under formannskapet.
What is common to all the Arctic states is that we share a fundamental interest – namely in ensuring that the Law of the Sea provides the legal framework for developments in the north. 
Fellestrekket for de arktiske statene er at vi deler en helt grunnleggende interesse – nemlig at havretten skal utgjøre det rettslige rammeverket for utviklingen i nord.
And the Government welcomes the initiative of the Canadian chairmanship of the Arctic Council to create a business forum with links to the Council. 
Og regjeringen er positiv til initiativet til det kanadiske formannskapet i Arktisk råd om å skape et eget forum for næringslivet tilknyttet rådet.
We know that climate change is taking place at an alarming rate. 
Vi vet at klimaendringene skjer i et alarmerende høyt tempo.
Several research institutions have reported that the thickness of ice in the Arctic has been reduced by 50 % more than previously forecast. 
Flere forskningsinstitusjoner har rapportert at tykkelsen på isen i Arktis er redusert med 50 prosent mer enn tidligere anslått.
It is now at a record low. 
Istykkelsen er nå rekordlav.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that the sea ice in the Arctic is “very likely” to have been retreating at a rate of around 4 % every ten years over the last 30 years (11 % in the summer). 
FNs klimapanel betegner det som «svært sikkert» at utbredelsen av sjøisen i Arktis har minket med omkring fire prosent hvert tiår de siste 30 årene(11 prosent om sommeren).
According to the IPCC, it is very likely that human activity has contributed to this development and that the ice cover will continue to shrink in both extent and thickness. 
Ifølge klimapanelet er det svært sannsynlig at menneskelig påvirkning har bidratt til dette, og at isdekket vil fortsette å minke i utstrekning og tykkelse.
The IPCC also considers it likely that by the middle of this century, the Arctic Ocean will be nearly ice-free in September (when the ice cover is at its lowest) if emissions continue to increase at the present rate. 
Klimapanelet vurderer det som sannsynlig at Polhavet vil være tilnærmet isfritt i september (når isutstrekningen er minst) innen midten av dette århundret hvis utslippsveksten fortsetter som i dag.
The Arctic is the key to understanding climate change. 
Arktis er selve nøkkelen til å forstå klimaendringene.
It is not here that the greatest number of people will be affected by the impacts of climate change. 
Det er ikke her flest mennesker vil bli rammet av konsekvensene.
But it is here that we will see the physical changes first, changes that will have serious consequences for the whole world. 
Men det er her vi vil se de fysiske endringene først, de som kan få alvorlige følger for hele verden.
This is why research institutions from 11 countries in addition to Norway have established research stations in Svalbard. 
Det er derfor forskningsinstitusjoner fra 11 land utenom Norge har forskningsstasjoner på Svalbard.
Our High North policy is broad in scope. 
Nordområdepolitikken favner bredt.
Balance between opportunities and responsibilities. 
Muligheter og ansvar.
As Minister of Foreign Affairs, I appreciate the increasing geopolitical and foreign policy importance of the High North. 
Som utenriksminister er jeg opptatt av nordområdenes økende geopolitiske og utenrikspolitiske betydning.
And I consider it important that – in cooperation with like-minded countries – we continue to develop a framework that ensures balanced development in the north. 
Og av hvordan vi i samarbeid med nærstående land viderefører rammeverket for en balansert utvikling i nord.
But the Government cannot do all this alone. 
Men dette er ikke noe regjeringen kan gjøre alene.
In order to protect the full range of interests, and achieve progress in the various areas, we need new knowledge, research and technology development. 
For å ivareta helheten, og for å skape framdrift på ulike områder, trenger vi ny kunnskap, forskning og teknologiutvikling.
We need you. 
Vi trenger dere!
