Our priority areas 
Regjeringens satsingsområder
This, together with the great significance of the Arctic for the global climate, is one of the reasons why countries such as India, South Korea, China and Singapore have sought – and have been granted – observer status in the Arctic Council. 
Koblet med nordområdenes store betydning for jordens klima, er det en av flere grunner til at land som India, Sør-Korea, Japan, Kina og Singapore har fått status som observatører i Arktisk råd.
The Government will strengthen Norway’s position as a responsible actor and partner in the north by focusing on knowledge development, business development and international cooperation. 
Regjeringen vil styrke Norges posisjon som en ansvarlig aktør og samarbeidspartner i nord gjennom å satse på kunnskap, næringsutvikling og internasjonalt samarbeid.
New opportunities to exploit natural resources, new trade routes and increasing human activities may have major consequences for the environment and society, and Norway has a great responsibility to ensure sustainable management of the environment and the region’s natural resources. 
Tilgang til naturressurser, nye handelsveier og menneskelig aktivitet har store konsekvenser for miljø og samfunn, og gir Norge et stort ansvar for å forvalte miljø og ressurser på en bærekraftig måte.
Together, the five coastal states bordering the Arctic Ocean negotiated a joint declaration in 2014 on the need to develop interim measures to combat unregulated fishing in the Arctic Ocean. 
Sammen med de øvrige fem kyststatene til Polhavet fremforhandlet landene i 2014 også en erklæring om tiltak mot uregulert fiske i Polhavet.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is in the process of finalising a mandatory international code of safety for ships operating in polar waters (the Polar Code), which is expected to enter into force in 2017. 
FNs sjøfartsorganisasjon er i ferd med å ferdigstille arbeidet med den såkalte Polarkoden, som ventes å tre i kraft i 2017.
This is in Norway’s interest as a coastal state and a flag state. 
Dette er av sentral interesse for Norge som kyststat og flaggstat.
Norway’s presence in the High North contributes to security, stability and predictability in the region. 
Tilstedeværelse i nordområdene bidrar til sikkerhet, stabilitet og forutsigbarhet.
Norway’s military presence, combined with that of our allies, is essential in this context. 
Vårt eget militære nærvær, kombinert med alliert nærvær, er en vesentlig forutsetning for dette.
The Government will take steps to ensure that the Norwegian Armed Forces have a thorough understanding of the situation in the north and a high level of operational capability in the region. 
Regjeringen vil sikre at Forsvaret har god situasjonsforståelse og høy operativ evne i nord.
In 2007, the petroleum industry in the north was given a huge boost with the opening of the Snøhvit field. 
Petroleumsindustrien i nord fikk et kjempeløft da Snøhvitfeltet ble åpnet i 2007.
This had a major impact on Hammerfest, where 1 200 jobs are now linked to the petroleum industry, but also offers major opportunities for the whole region. 
Feltet har hatt svært stor betydning for Hammerfest, der 1200 arbeidsplasser i dag er knyttet til petroleum, men potensialet er stort for hele landsdelen.
In addition, a number of companies whose activities are based on knowledge and research are now emerging. 
I tillegg er en rekke bedrifter basert på kunnskap og forskning i ferd med å vokse frem.
The Government will promote cooperation between research communities and the private and public sectors at national and international level. 
Regjeringen vil legge til rette for økt samarbeid mellom kunnskapsmiljøer, næringsliv og offentlige aktører innenfor og over landegrensene.
New exploration licences will be awarded in areas already opened for petroleum activities, and NOK 150 million is being allocated through Innovation Norway to business projects in the period 2014–19. 
Det vil bli tildelt nye leteområder for petroleum, og det settes av 150 millioner kroner til næringslivsprosjekter gjennom Innovasjon Norge i perioden 2014-2019.

The Government will also strengthen long-term industry-oriented research, for example in the fields of marine biotechnology and bioprospecting. 
Regjeringen vil også styrke den langsiktige næringsrettede forskningen, for eksempel innen marin bioteknologi og bioprospektering.
An integrated policy to promote value creation in the maritime sector will be developed, and a white paper on sustainability in the aquaculture industry will be presented in 2015. 
Det vil bli utarbeidet en helhetlig politikk for verdiskaping i maritim næring, og det vil i 2015 bli lagt frem en stortingsmelding om bærekraft i havbruksnæringen.
A new maritime strategy will set out the course for the shipping industry in the High North. 
En ny maritim strategi vil også stake ut kursen for skipsfartsnæringen i nordområdene.
The Government will also promote targeted marketing activities in the tourism industry through the major travel companies. 
Regjeringen ønsker dessuten å bidra til et mer målrettet markedsarbeid i reiselivsnæringen gjennom større reisemålsselskaper.
Ensuring that there is a skilled labour force in North Norway is crucial for realising the region’s potential for value creation. 
Kompetent arbeidskraft er en avgjørende faktor for å utløse landsdelens verdiskapingspotensial.
Broad-based knowledge development 
Bred kunnskapsutvikling
Research and education in North Norway is an area under continuous development. 
Forskning og utdanning i nord er i kontinuerlig utvikling.
In 2013, for example, 142 doctorates were awarded at the two universities in the region, double the number awarded in 2006. 
For eksempel ble 142 doktorgrader avlagt ved landsdelens to universiteter i 2013, en dobling fra 2006.
Nearly 2 500 foreign students chose to complete all or part of their education in North Norway in 2013. 
Nesten 2500 utenlandske studenter valgte samme år å legge hele eller deler av sin utdanning til Nord-Norge.
Cooperation between universities, university colleges and the business sector is well developed and has led to the establishment of a number of small and medium-sized knowledge-based companies, for example in the field of bioprospecting. 
Samarbeidet mellom universiteter, høgskoler og næringsliv er godt etablert og har medført at en rekke små og mellomstore kunnskapsbedrifter har oppstått, for eksempel innen bioprospektering.
Several research institutions are also working to ensure that new business activities keep within environmentally sound limits. 
Flere forskningsinstitusjoner jobber også med å sikre at næringsutviklingen skjer innenfor miljøforsvarlige rammer.
The Government’s aim is for Norway to be leader in the field of knowledge in and about the High North. 
Regjeringen vil at Norge skal være ledende på kunnskap om nord, for nord og i nord.
More emphasis will be placed on the commercialisation of research results. 
Forskningsresultater kan kommersialiseres i enda høyere grad enn i dag.
Rapid climate change and increased activity in the north mean that more knowledge is needed. 
Raske klimaendringer og økt aktivitet krever mer kunnskap.
It also intends to establish a new grant scheme, Arctic 2030, to replace the Barents 2020 project and the grant scheme for Arctic cooperation. 
Regjeringen innfører i tillegg en ny tilskuddsordning som erstatning for Barents 2020 og Arktisk samarbeid: Arktis 2030.
Grants will be awarded for strategic projects that are considered to particularly important for efforts in the five priority areas. 
Tilskudd vil bli vurdert til strategiske prosjekter for å realisere nordområdesatsingen innenfor de fem prioriterte områdene.
More reliable infrastructure 
Sikrere infrastruktur
The region’s 11 600 kilometres of road, 28 airports and 71 major ports are not enough to ensure that North Norway has an effective and reliable transport system. 
11.600 kilometer vei, 28 flyplasser og 71 større havner er alene ikke nok for å sikre norske nordområder et godt og sikkert transportsystem.
It will also provide a better overview of the sea areas during search and rescue operations and other incidents, and is a useful tool for uncovering illegal fishing activities. 
Den vil også gi en økt situasjonsoversikt under redningsoperasjoner og andre hendelser, og er et nyttig verktøy for å avdekke fiskerikriminalitet.
The number of commercial ships sailing through the Northeast Passage is likely to increase as a result of climate change. 
Klimaendringene vil trolig medføre flere kommersielle skip gjennom nordøstpassasjen.
This, together with increased petroleum activities, will mean that communication – especially two-way communication services – and infrastructure will have to be improved across the entire region. 
Sammen med økt petroleumsvirksomhet vil dette kreve bedre kommunikasjon og infrastruktur i hele regionen, spesielt når det gjelder mulighetene for toveiskommunikasjon.
Through the maritime surveillance and information system BarentsWatch, government agencies that have operational responsibility at sea will be able to share information securely and effectively. 
Gjennom overvåkings- og informasjonssystemet BarentsWatch vil etater med operativt ansvar til sjøs kunne dele informasjon på en sikker og effektiv måte.
The Norwegian Space Centre is developing concepts for satellite communication north of 75°N. 
Norsk Romsenter er i tillegg i ferd med å utrede mulige konsepter for satellittkommunikasjon nord for 75 grader nord.
Avinor AS has been commissioned to draw up a planning application for a new airport near Mo i Rana and to consider the possibility of establishing new airports in Lofoten and near Hammerfest. 
Avinor har fått i oppdrag å utarbeide en konsesjonssøknad for en ny lufthavn ved Mo i Rana og vurdere mulighetene for nye lufthavner i Lofoten og ved Hammerfest.
The port infrastructure in Svalbard will be upgraded to increase its capacity. 
Et nytt kaianlegg på Svalbard vil styrke havnekapasiteten der.
A new hospital was opened in Stokmarknes in August, and a new hospital is currently being built in Kirkenes. 
Nytt sykehus ble åpnet i Stokmarknes i august, og det nye sykehuset i Kirkenes er under utbygging.
Better preparedness and environmental protection 
Bedre beredskap og miljøvern
The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Northern Norway oversees some 80 % of Norway’s search and rescue responsibilities in the Arctic. 
Hovedredningssentralen i Nord-Norge har ansvar for om lag 80 prosent av Norges ansvarsområder for søk og redning.
The vast distances and increasing traffic and activity in the region make it necessary to enhance preparedness and capacity. 
Avstandene er enorme, og økende trafikk og aktivitet vil kreve en styrking av beredskap og kapasitet.
Close cooperation between the countries in the north is also important in order to address transnational environmental issues. 
Grenseoverskridende miljøutfordringer gjør det også påkrevd med et nært samarbeid mellom landene i nord.
The Government seeks to promote sustainable economic activity in the north, by setting high environmental standards, improving preparedness, developing effective management plans, enhancing safety standards, and maintaining close cooperation with other countries. 
Regjeringen vil ha en bærekraftig virksomhet i nord, gjennom strenge miljøkrav, økt beredskap, gode forvaltningsplaner, sikkerhetstiltak og nært samarbeid med andre land.
Oil and gas activities in the Arctic require a thorough knowledge of the risks involved. 
Petroleumsutvinning i Arktis forutsetter inngående kunnskap om risiko.
Norway is also involved in the work to develop international standards for petroleum operations in the Arctic. 
I tillegg er Norge involvert i arbeidet med å utvikle internasjonale standarder for arktiske petroleumsoperasjoner.
A great responsibility and a major effort
