This gives the paper an extra perspective compared to many existing papers, where the focus has often been on single groups of players. 
Dette gir rapporten et ekstra perspektiv sammenliknet med mye som tidligere er skrevet på området, hvor fokus ofte har vært på enkeltgrupper.
The paper outlines challenges and solutions along the entire investment chain from asset owner to corporation. 
Rapporten omtaler utfordringer og løsninger langs investeringskjeden fra kapitaleier til selskap.
The paper also highlights the importance both of asset owners being active owners and that asset owners work together with corporations to achieve sustainable business practices. 
Rapporten framhever også viktigheten av at kapitaleiere demonstrerer aktivt eierskap og jobber sammen med selskapene for å oppnå bærekraftig virksomhetspraksis.
The GPFG is a responsible investor The aim of being a predictable owner who secures return over the long-run is also the basis for Norges Bank’s approach to active ownership. 
SPU er en ansvarlig investor Ønsket om å være en forutsigbar eier som sikrer finansielle verdier over tid ligger også til grunn for Norges Banks eierskapsarbeid.
It is the aim of the Ministry of Finance that the Government Pension Fund shall be a responsible investor. 
Finansdepartementet ønsker at Statens pensjonsfond skal være en ansvarlig investor.
This entails both that the fund provides a good financial return but also that it maintains the values of the owners of the fund, the Norwegian people. 
Dette innebærer både at fondet gir god avkastning over tid, og at det ivaretar de verdiene eierne av fondet, det norske folk, representerer.
It is also important to support initiatives, which can contribute to the development of a clearer common understanding of best practice for responsible investments. 
Det er også viktig å støtte tiltak som kan bidra til å utvikle en klarere felles forståelse av hva som er beste praksis for ansvarlige investeringer.

Kronikk i Aftenposten 28. oktober 2010
By Hillary Rodham Clinton and Jonas Gahr Store 
Av Hillary Rodham Clinton, USAs utenriksminister og Jonas Gahr Støre, Norges utenriksminister
One of the most vexing problems of global security is the recurring nature of conflict: Old wars rarely die. 
Gamle kriger dør sjelden.
More often, they peter out in ceasefires of exhaustion. 
De ebber heller ut i utmattende våpenstillstand.
And then they reignite. 
Og så blusser fiendtlighetene opp igjen.
Of the 39 conflicts that have erupted in the past 10 years, only eight are entirely new. 
Bare åtte av de trettini konfliktene som er brutt ut i løpet av de ti siste årene, er helt nye.
Thirty-one are recurrences of conflicts that were never fully resolved. 
Trettien er nye utbrudd av konflikter som aldri fikk noen endelig løsning.
It is no coincidence that most of these conflicts occur in societies where women have little power and are excluded from the process of negotiating and implementing the peace. 
Det er ingen tilfeldighet at de fleste av disse konfliktene finner sted i samfunn der kvinner har liten makt og er utestengt fra fredsforhandlinger og gjennomføring av fredsavtaler.
Peace agreements typically fall apart when they fail to resolve the issues that caused the conflict in the first place—including ethnic tensions, inequality, and injustice. 
Fredsavtaler mislykkes gjerne når de ikke makter å løse problemene som i utgangspunktet førte til at konflikten oppsto, som etniske spenninger, skjevfordeling og urett.
Ten years ago this week, the United Nations took a historic step in this direction by recognizing that women are not merely victims of war, they are also indispensible agents of peace. 
Denne uken er det ti år siden De forente nasjoner tok et historisk steg i riktig retning da de anerkjente at kvinner ikke bare er ofre for krig, men også uunnværlige aktører for fred.
Yet progress in including women in the peacemaking process has lagged. 
Likevel går arbeidet med å inkludere kvinner i fredsprosessene altfor sakte.
It is indisputable that women and children suffer disproportionately from war, including as targets of rape. 
Det hersker ingen tvil om at kvinner og barn lider uforholdsmessig mye i krig, blant annet gjennom voldtekt.
We must do more to protect them. 
Vi må gjøre mer for å beskytte dem.
But relegating them to the role of passive victims keeps them powerless. 
Men hvis de låses i rollen som passive ofre, vil de forbli maktesløse.
When the “victims” organize, they are potent advocates for change, as they were in Sierra Leone, Rwanda and Liberia. 
Når «ofrene» organiserer seg, blir de sterke forkjempere for endring, slik vi har sett det i Sierra Leone, Rwanda og Liberia.
Women can be effective peacemakers because they have a broad view of security. 
Kvinner kan effektivt bidra til fred fordi de har et bredt syn på sikkerhet.
To them, it is more than the absence of armed fighters. 
For dem handler det om mer enn fravær av væpnede krigere.
It means their sons and daughters can go to school safely. 
Det betyr at deres sønner og døtre kan gå trygt til skolen.
It means they can get medical attention when they give birth, and have their children vaccinated. 
Det betyr at de kan få legehjelp når de føder, og at barna kan få vaksiner.
It means returning refugees can find land, water and jobs. 
Det betyr at flyktninger som vender tilbake, får tilgang til vann, jord og arbeid.
Broadening our definition of security in this way helps prevent simmering grievances from recurring and escalating. 
Når vi utvider sikkerhetsbegrepet på denne måten, bidrar det til å forhindre at ulmende misnøye på nytt flammer opp.
But recent history shows that agreements that exclude women and ignore their concerns usually fail. 
Men erfaringene i nyere tid viser at avtaler som utelukker kvinner og ikke tar hensyn til deres interesser, som regel slår feil.
In Northern Ireland, women were locked out of the political process during three decades of conflict and several attempts to develop peace agreements quickly collapsed. 
I Nord-Irland var kvinner stengt ute fra den politiske prosessen gjennom 30 år med konflikt, og flere forsøk på fredsavtaler brøt raskt sammen.
Then, in the mid-90s, women from both sides of the divide formed a political party, the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition, and earned two seats at the negotiating table. 
Men på midten av nittitallet dannet kvinner fra begge sider av konflikten et politisk parti, kvinnekoalisjonen i Nord-Irland, som fikk to seter ved forhandlingsbordet.
They insisted that the talks include the needs of victims, integrated education, a forum for civil society, women's participation, equality and human rights. 
De insisterte på at forhandlingene måtte omfatte ofrenes behov, integrert utdanning, et forum for sivilsamfunnet, medvirkning fra kvinner, likestilling og menneskerettigheter.
Their involvement in the peace process made a crucial contribution to the signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. 
Deres engasjement i fredsprosessen var et avgjørende bidrag til at Langfredagsavtalen kunne undertegnes i 1998.
That peace still stands. 
Denne freden står fortsatt ved lag.
In country after country, we have seen women help push peace agreements to the finish line. 
I land etter land har vi sett at kvinner bidrar til å få fredsavtaler i havn.
Yet almost no women served in recent peace talks in Indonesia, Nepal, Somalia, Cote d'Ivoire, and Central African Republic. 
Likevel var nesten ingen kvinner involvert i de seneste fredsforhandlingene i Indonesia, Nepal, Somalia, Elfenbenskysten og Den sentralafrikanske republikk.
But women are increasingly party to conflict. 
Men saken er at kvinner stadig oftere er part i konflikter.
More and more, they are being recruited into regular armed forces and terrorist groups. 
De rekrutteres i stadig større grad til ordinære væpnede styrker og til terroristgrupper.
In Sudan, for example, women and girls played an active role on the front lines of the two north-south civil wars – as both combatants and peace activists. 
I Sudan har for eksempel kvinner og jenter spilt en aktiv rolle på fronten i de to borgerkrigene mellom nord og sør – både som stridende og som fredsaktivister.
Yet they have been largely absent from formal peace negotiations. 
Likevel har de i liten grad deltatt i de formelle fredsforhandlingene.
Whether they are combatants or survivors, peace-builders or bystanders, women must play a role in the transition from war to peaceful development. 
Enten de er stridende eller overlevende, fredsbyggere eller tilskuere, må kvinner spille en rolle i overgangen fra krig til fredelig utvikling.
In the coming weeks and months, our governments will be pressing to ramp up meaningful implementation of Resolution 1325. 
I de kommende ukene og månedene vil våre regjeringer arbeide for en snarlig og meningsfylt gjennomføring av resolusjon 1325.
As just one part of that effort, our governments are among those participating in an important international conference in Copenhagen this week, where the focus will be on the role of women in a broad range of global security issues. 
Som ledd i denne innsatsen skal vi denne uken delta på en viktig internasjonal konferanse i København, der søkelyset settes på kvinners rolle i en rekke internasjonale sikkerhetsspørsmål.
The Key to Sustainable Peace: Women 
Nøkkelen til varig fred
The historically high oil prices from last summer have decreased significantly. 
Den historiske høye oljeprisen fra i fjor sommer har falt betydelig.
The level of costs is still high and there is economical uncertainty in the market. 
Kostnadsnivået er fortsatt høyt og det er stor økonomisk usikkerhet.
These factors generate a growing concern in the industry, and we observe projects being reevaluated and postponed. 
Dette skaper bekymring blant aktørene på norsk sokkel, og vi ser allerede prosjekter som vurderes på nytt og blir utsatt.
To monitor the market development, the government will continue to have close communication with both the supply industry and the oil companies, says Mr. Terje Riis-Johansen, Minister of Petroleum and Energy. 
For å følge opp utviklingen i sektoren vil regjeringen fortsette å ha tett kontakt med leverandørindustrien og operatørene, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Riis-Johansen.
In the midst of the economic crisis, the petroleum industry plays an important role. 
Midt i den økonomiske krisen spiller petroleumsindustrien en viktig rolle.
The income generated from the industry has provided Norway with a considerable financial fortune. 
Inntekter fra industrien har i løpet av mange år bidratt til at Norge i dag forvalter en betydelig finansformue.
By the end of 2008 the market value of the government pension fund-global was approximately NOK 2 275 billion. 
Ved årsskiftet var verdien av Pensjonsfondet Utland rundt 2 275 milliarder kroner.
Even if the investments level is somewhat lower than it would have been if the crisis had not hit, it is still high and expected to rise even more in 2009. 
Selv om investeringsnivået er lavere enn det ville vært uten den økonomiske krisen, er investeringsnivået høyt og det forventes å øke i 2009.
The investments are expected to be around NOK 137 billion in 2009, including exploration activity. 
I RNB09 er investeringsnivået anslått til nærmere 137 milliarder kroner i 2009, inkludert letevirksomhet.
We have started building the new technology center for carbon capture and storage (CCS) on Mongstad. 
Dette gjøres parallelt med at arbeidet med byggingen av teknologisenteret for fangst og lagring av CO2 på Mongstad settes i gang.
Further the Government has awarded 21 new production licenses in the 20th Licensing round. 
Med bakgrunn i dette har regjeringen nå utdelt 21 nye utvinningstillatelser i 20. konsesjonsrunde.
We have also presented the plan for development and operation for the Goliat field, an industrial project that will generate revenues to the Norwegian society, but also spin-off effects and creation of several new jobs in the county of Finnmark, says Mr. Terje Riis-Johansen, Minister of Petroleum and Energy. 
Vi har også lagt fram plan for utbygging og drift av Goliat, en utbygging som i tillegg til å generere inntekter til det norske samfunnet vil føre til lokale ringvirkninger og gi flere nye arbeidsplasser, sier Riis-Johansen.
The average oil price in the Revised National Budget for 2009 (RNB09) is estimated to 350 NOK per barrel. 
Gjennomsnittlig oljepris per fat er i Revidert nasjonalbudsjett 2009 (RNB09) anslått til 350 kroner.
This is equal to the oil price assumption in the amendments to the 2009 Fiscal Budget that was proposed by the Government in January. 
Dette tilsvarer den oljeprisen som ble lagt til grunn i tiltaksproposisjonen i slutten av januar.
Brent oil price fell substantially in the second half of 2008, from almost 150 USD/barrel in July to about 40 USD/barrel by the end of the year. 
Oljeprisen (Brent) falt kraftig gjennom 2. halvår 2008, fra nesten 150 USD/fat i juli til om lag 40 USD/fat ved årsskiftet.
The financial crisis and the recession in the world economy have caused oil demand to decline severely in 2008/2009. 
Finanskrisen og nedgangen i verdensøkonomien har ført til et stort fall i etterspørselen etter olje i 2008/2009.
With expectations of more stable oil demand and continued curbs on supply from OPEC, one could expect somewhat higher oil prices. 
Med forventninger om noe sterkere oljeetterspørsel utover i 2009 og fortsatte begrensninger på OPECs oljetilbud, kan en få noe høyere oljepriser fremover.
The lower oil price expectations affect the net cash flow from this sector. 
Endringene i oljeprisen påvirker statens netto kontantstrøm fra virksomheten.
In the Revised National Budget for 2009 the net cash flow is estimated to NOK 261 billion. 
I RNB09 anslås statens inntekter til å bli 261 milliarder kroner.
This constitutes about 26 percent of the State’s total income. 
Årets netto kontantstrøm utgjør anslagsvis 26 prosent av statens samlede inntekter.
