'Greenwash': oil giant under fire over plan to protect tropical forests

Campaigners say move by Norway's Equinor is an excuse to keep drilling for fossil fuels

One of the world's biggest oil companies is set to join the fight against deforestation in the tropics as part of its climate change efforts - but the the move has been branded a "greenwash" by campaigners.
