She criticized him harshly, saying it would be used for “greenwashing” which she pretended to be considerate. I gave a lecture at a publishing-related event in London that I visited to promote my new book.

“COP27 will open in a paradise for tourists in a country that violates many of its basic human rights,” he said. “(Used) by those in power to wash the green, lie and deceive,” she said.

When COP26 was held in Glasgow last year, Thunberg took part in the protests in the city. However, this year’s COP27 made it clear that he would not participate, saying: “It will be very difficult to make activists’ voices heard.” Egypt has effectively banned public demonstrations.
