OSLO, May 14 (Reuters) - Equinor's annual general meeting rejected on Tuesday a resolution calling on Norway's top oil and gas producer to align its strategy and spending with global climate goals.

The Norwegian government, which holds a 67% stake, voted against the resolution. The company's board, which recommended to reject it, said Europe's largest gas supplier was already doing enough.

"We will become a broad energy company and we will cut emissions, but we also need to adapt to the market situation and be flexible," Equinor's Chairman Jon Erik Reinhardsen told the AGM, urging the rejection of the resolution.

"We invest in the energy the world needs now, that is oil and gas," Equinor's Chief Executive Anders Opedal added.

Filed by a group of investors led by UK-based Sarasin & Partners, the resolution called on the Norwegian oil and gas producer to specify how any plans for new oil and gas reserve developments are consistent with the Paris Agreement goals.

The resolution underlined Norway's dual position as a major oil and gas exporter while at the same time actively backing international cuts in global greenhouse gas emissions.

It also came as investors seek more climate action by oil and gas producers after several scaled back their ambitions in the face of an energy crisis and high prices.

Equinor's 7th and 8th largest shareholders, Storebrand Asset Management and KLP, which hold 0.7% and 0.6% stakes, respectively, told Reuters ahead the vote they would support the resolution.

Internationally, Equinor plans to increase oil and gas production by 15% from 2024 to 2030, which will mainly come from new projects in Brazil, the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and the UK.

One of these projects is the Equinor-operated $3.8 billion Rosebank oilfield development northwest of Shetland, which has faced public protests in the UK.

"While you continue to fight for your own profits, we will fight for everyone and everything that we love... We will stop Rosebank," Scottish climate activist Lauren MacDonald told Equinor's meeting on Tuesday.
