Nerijus Adomaitis, CEO of Norwegian oil and gas company Equinor, said that it was not a “wise approach” to seek to resolve complex issues involving energy and climate change through the legal system. Saetre’s remarks were made in response to a lawsuit filed by New York against Exxon Mobil on 24 October which alleged that the oil firm misled investors about the risks of climate change for its business. Equinor is a partner with Exxon in various projects, but is not involved in the lawsuit.
