This paper provides an overview of the preparation of the provisional agendas for sessions of the UNFCCC governing and subsidiary bodies, including trends observed in 1995–2023 and risks and challenges related to agenda-setting; highlights the approaches taken by the secretariat, in consultation with the presiding officers, to reduce overlap of items on such agendas; and presents a synthesis of options, including those proposed by Parties, for rationalizing the agendas, for consideration by the Subsidiary Body for Implementation at its sixtieth session.
