UN report calls for greater effort on sustainable development 
FN-rapport vil øke satsingen på bærekraftig utvikling
Today the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched this year’s Human Development Report. 
FNs utviklingsprogram (UNDP) har lansert årets «Human Development Report».
The report includes the 2011 Human Development Index, which measures countries’ ability to provide opportunities for people to improve their living conditions. 
Samtidig kommer indeksen som måler et lands evne til å gi befolkningen muligheter til bedre levekår.
Norway is at the top of this index. 
På denne indeksen rangeres Norge på topp.
Today the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) launched this year’s Human Development Report. 
FNs utviklingsprogram (UNDP) lanserer i dag årets «Human Development Report».
UNDP has reported on human development for 20 years. 
FNs utviklingsprogram har i 20 år rapportert om menneskelig utvikling.
This year’s report recommends a substantial increase in funding for sustainable development to ensure better living conditions for all. 
Årets rapport anbefaler en sterk økning i finansiering av bærekraftig utvikling for å sikre bedre levekår for alle.
This is the most important thing we can do for people in poor countries. 
Det er det viktigste vi kan gjøre for folk i fattige land.
Otherwise we will lose on both fronts.” 
Ellers taper vi på begge fronter, sier miljø- og utviklingsminister Erik Solheim.
The Human Development Index was launched together with the report. 
Sammen med rapporten lanseres også Human Development Index.
It shows the status of human development today. 
Den gjør opp status for menneskelig utvikling.
Once again, Norway is at the top. 
Norge ligger igjen øverst på lista.
“This is of course good news for those of us who live in Norway,” commented Mr Solheim. 
– Det er jo gledelig for oss som bor her i Norge.
“But it also shows the major challenges facing rich and poor parts of the world alike. 
Men det viser også de store utfordringene den rike og den fattige delen av verden har felles.
We must ensure a better future for everyone.” 
Vi må sikre en bedre fremtid for alle, sier Solheim.
This year’s report shows how sustainable development is closely linked to equity and quality of life. 
Årets rapport fra UNDP analyserer hvordan bærekraftig utvikling er knyttet til rettferdighet og livskvalitet.
“People in poor countries carry a double burden of deprivation. 
– Folk i fattige land bærer en dobbelt fattigdomsbyrde.
They are more vulnerable to environmental degradation and are poorly equipped to deal with environmental problems. 
De er mer sårbare for miljøødeleggelser og dårligere rustet til å mestre dem.
The report warns that the progress we have seen in recent years could stop or be reversed. 
Rapporten advarer mot at den positive utviklingen vi har sett de siste årene kan stoppe eller snu.
We must address the serious environmental risks and the major inequalities,” said Mr Solheim. 
Vi må ta tak i de alvorlige miljørisikoene og de store ulikhetene, sier Solheim.
The report points out that 1.5 billion people do not have access to electricity. 
Rapporten peker på at 1,5 milliarder mennesker mangler tilgang til strøm.
In addition, 2.7 billion people lack access to clean cooking facilities. 
2,7 milliarder mennesker mangler tilgang til rene kokemuligheter.
Therefore gender equality and women’s rights are also a vital factor for development in poor countries. 
Derfor er likestilling og kvinners rettigheter viktig for utvikling i fattige land.
“One of Norway’s main priorities in the fight against poverty is ensuring that more people have access to renewable and efficient sources of energy,” said Mr Solheim. 
– En av hovedsatsingene i Norges kamp mot fattigdom er at flere skal få tilgang til fornybar og effektiv energi, sier Solheim

Health-care workers in conflict areas must be protected 
Eide: - Helsearbeidere i konflikt må beskyttes
“I am deeply concerned by the fact that increasing numbers of health-care workers and hospitals are being attacked and threatened by warring parties. 
- Jeg er dypt bekymret for at helsearbeidere og sykehus i økende grad angripes og trues av krigførende parter.
The ICRC has recently documented 644 violent incidents targeting health-care workers and health-care facilities in 16 countries over a two-year period. 
Den internasjonale Røde Kors-komitéen (ICRC) har nylig dokumentert 644 voldelige hendelser mot helsearbeidere og helseinstallasjoner i 16 land over en toårsperiode.
The incidents described in the report Health Care in Danger include the use of explosive weapons, the destruction of ambulances, and the kidnapping and killing of health-care personnel. 
Bruk av eksplosive våpen, ødeleggelse av ambulanser, kidnapping og drap av helsepersonell er noen av hendelsene som nevnes i rapporten Health Care in Danger.
The ICRC is one of Norway’s most important partners in providing humanitarian assistance in crisis and conflict situations. 
ICRC er en av Norges viktigste samarbeidspartnerne for humanitær innsats i krise- og konfliktsituasjoner.
The ICRC is also an important player in efforts to develop a well-functioning humanitarian system based on international humanitarian law. 
ICRC er også den viktigste enkeltaktøren for å sikre et velfungerende humanitært system basert på internasjonal humanitærrett.
I am often impressed by its ability to help people where others have to admit defeat, as we are now seeing in Syria, Gaza, Mali and DR Congo,” Mr Eide said. 
Jeg er imponert over deres evne til å hjelpe mennesker hvor andre ofte må gi tapt, slik vi nå ser i Syria, Gaza, Mali og Kongo, sier utenriksministeren.
“I am therefore pleased to be able to announce that Norway will allocate an additional NOK 60 million to the work of the ICRC in conflict areas all over the world,” Mr Eide said. 
- Jeg er derfor glad for å kunngjøre nye 60 millioner kroner til Røde Kors’ arbeid i konflikter verden over, sier Eide.
