4:43Now PlayingBP has announced it will slash its renewable energy investments and instead focus on increasing oil and gas production.
The energy giant revealed its shift in strategy on Wednesday following pressure from some investors unhappy its profits and share price have been much lower than its rivals.
BP said it would increase its oil and gas investment to $10bn (£7.9bn) a year in a reset aimed at boosting its returns.
The move comes as rivals Shell and Norwegian company Equinor have also scaled back plans to invest in green energy and US President Donald Trump's "drill baby drill" comments have encouraged investment in fossil fuels.
