Reception

Ahead of the summit, some human rights organisations expressed concerns regarding the state of freedom of expression in Egypt, along with the broader human rights situation, and questioned to what extent it would be possible to protest.[8]

The Egyptian government has also faced criticism regarding an alleged lack of action regarding climate change and reducing fossil fuel use.[9]
