Norway will allocate substantial funding to the Amazon Fund, amounting to 700 million NOK for 2008 and 2009. 
Norge vil gå inn med signifikant støtte til Amazonas-fondet, med 700 millioner for 2008 og 2009.
The annual allocations after this will be linked to performance in terms of reduced deforestation rates, in accordance with the approach taken by the Brazilian authorities. 
De årlige bidragene for årene fremover vil – i tråd med den brasilianske tilnærmingen – variere avhengig av resultatene som oppnås i form av redusert avskoging.
Norway’s contributions to the Amazon Fund will form part of its broad-based climate policy cooperation with Brazil. 
Norges bidrag til Amazonas-fondet vil være del av et bredere anlagt samarbeid med Brasil innenfor klimapolitikken.
There will also be cooperation on the technical aspects of monitoring, reporting and verification (including support for monitoring efforts in third countries) and on identifying projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) that may be of interest to Norwegian investors. 
Det vil også bli samarbeid om de tekniske utfordringer knyttet til overvåkning, rapportering og verifisering – også i form av støtte til tredjeland- og samarbeid om å identifisere CDM-prosjekter i Brasil av interesse for norske investorer.
Tanzania Norway, together with UN REDD, will provide NOK 500 million towards the development and implementation of a national REDD strategy in Tanzania over a five-year period. 
-Tanzania Norge vil – sammen med UN REDD – støtte utvikling og gjennomføring av en nasjonal strategi for REDD i Tanzania med 500 millioner kroner fordelt over 5 år.
New, innovative approaches are also urgently needed. 
Utfordringene er mange og risikoen betydelig.
Arrangements will therefore be established for allocations to research and development and projects carried out by educational and research institutions and NGOs. 
På denne bakgrunn vil det etableres ordninger for bevilgninger til forskning og utvikling og prosjekter utført av henholdsvis kunnskapsinstitusjoner og frivillige organisasjoner.
Grant applications will be assessed on the basis of a set of environmental and development criteria, the most important being that projects must support national REDD strategies where these have been established, and the potential of the projects for producing innovative solutions. 
Søknadene vil bli vurdert på basis av et sett med miljø- og bistandsfaglige kriterier, der hovedvekt skal legges på at prosjektene må understøtte nasjonale REDD-strategier i land som har etablert slike, samt på prosjektenes potensial for å utvikle nyskapende løsninger.
If such solutions function as intended, they can subsequently be implemented on a larger scale. 
Dersom disse viser seg å fungere etter hensikten, kan de deretter implementeres i større skala.
Possible examples include projects focusing on the role of indigenous peoples and local communities in monitoring and sustainable management of forests, and the development of innovative financial mechanisms such as compensation for ecosystem services. 
Prosjekter med fokus på urfolk og lokalsamfunns rolle i overvåkning og forvaltning av et mer bærekraftig skogbruk, og innovative finansieringsmekanismer, herunder kompensasjon for økosystemtjenester, er mulige eksempler.
In addition, strategic partnerships have been set up with selected NGOs and research institutions. 
I tillegg er det inngått strategiske partnerskap med utvalgte NGOer og kunnskapsmiljøer.
Other channels Funding will primarily be provided through multilateral channels, with certain exceptions as described above. 
4.Ytterligere prosjektutvikling I utgangspunktet vil midlene bli kanalisert gjennom multilaterale kanaler, med enkelte unntak som beskrevet ovenfor.

The applicability of the Guyana – Norway MoU The Guyana-Norway partnership on climate and forests provides a model for how the key challenges of performance based climate change mitigation support may be addressed, and could prove relevant for other developing countries with ambition to reduce their emissions from deforestation and forest degradation and determination to develop low-carbon economies.

Norway condemns the use of violence in Egypt 
Norge fordømmer voldsbruken i Egypt
“Norway condemns the use of violence in Egypt. 
– Norge fordømmer voldsbruken i Egypt.
The transitional government and the army carry a heavy responsibility to stop a downward spiral of violence,” commented Minister of Foreign Affairs Espen Barth Eide. 
Overgangsregjeringen og hæren har et stort ansvar for å hindre en nedadgående voldsspiral, sier utenriksminister Espen Barth Eide.
Norway is following the situation in Egypt closely and is very concerned about the latest developments. 
Norge følger situasjonen i Egypt tett og er svært bekymret over den siste utviklingen.
Since the army removed President Morsi from power, Norway has emphasised that the transitional government must ensure that the democratic process is put back on track as soon as possible. 
Siden hæren fjernet president Morsi fra makten, har Norge understreket at overgangsregjeringen må sørge for at den demokratiske prosessen kommer tilbake på rett spor så snart som mulig.
“In these dramatic days for Egypt, we urge all sides to show restraint.” 
- I disse dramatiske dagene for Egypt, ber vi alle parter vise tilbakeholdenhet.
“The developments over the next days will decide how Norway will view the removal of president Morsi. 
- Utviklingen de nærmeste dagene vil bli avgjørende for hvordan Norge vil se på avsettelsen av president Morsi.
We are very concerned about the use of force against the protesters. 
Vi er dypt bekymret over maktbruken mot demonstranter.
The Army and the transitional government must respect the right of the Egyptian people to demonstrate in support of their views,” said Mr Eide. 
Hæren og overgangsregjeringen må respektere det egyptiske folkets ytringsfrihet og rett til å demonstrere for sine synspunkter, sier Eide.
