Egypt’s COP27 special envoy dismissed as "ludicrous" reports that his country was spying on delegates at the climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh and said some developing states believed the issue was an intentional distraction by rich nations trying to backtrack on their commitments. Reuters, citing three people with knowledge of the matter, reported that German federal police had warned their nation’s delegation at the summit in Egypt that its members may be subject to spying by Egyptian security agents.
