EARLY this year, Norway made global headlines by being the first country to ban palm oil-based biofuels linked to deforestation claims. The Norwegian Parliament voted to phase out palm oil from its biofuel industry by 2020.

The European Union has also been working towards the same goal by 2030 and is urging other countries to initiate their own laws and regulations like Norway.
