But campaigners, who see the annual meeting as a crucial platform for raising global alarm over climate change and pressuring governments to act, say restrictions on civil society since the overthrow of Egypt’s first democratically elected president in 2013 cast a cloud over the conference. Apart from gatherings such as the coral protest at the designated protest zone this week, most demonstrations have taken place in the summit’s central ‘Blue Zone’ which for the duration of the talks falls under the responsibility of United Nations, not Egyptian authorities.

The regulations aimed to “provide a peaceful environment for everyone to express their views freely.” “If you wanted to look at some of the thornier and critical issues in Egypt like water security, industrial pollution, environmental harm, real estate development, tourism development, agri-business, or one of the most shadowy variants – Egypt’s vast and opaque military business activities – that reality becomes very risky,” she said.
