OSLO - Norway’s sovereign wealth fund will vote in favour of a resolution committing Barclays to tackling climate change at the bank’s annual general meeting on May 7, the fund said on Friday. The resolution calls on Barclays to be a “net zero” emissions bank by 2050, to set a strategy for transitioning its provision of financial services to align with the goals and timelines of the Paris Agreement, and to report annually on progress.Reporting by Gwladys Fouche; editing by David Evans
