Guidance from the Bureau of the governing bodies

In the light of the COVID-19 pandemic and upon receiving a detailed assessment from

a representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the host of

COP 26, at its meeting of 1 April 2020 the Bureau of the governing bodies decided to

postpone COP 26, CMP 16 and CMA 3 to 2021.

At its meeting of 28 May 2020, the Bureau

accepted the proposal by the host of COP 26 to convene the sessions from 1 to 12 November

2021.

At its meeting of 15 June 2021, after consultations with the host, the Bureau agreed

that the sessions will open on Sunday, 31 October 2021, to provide additional time to

complete the work.

At its meeting of 25 August 2020, the Bureau, to enable work mandated for 2020 and

2021 to be delivered at COP 26 with a view to bringing the UNFCCC process back on track

by the end of 2021, to the extent possible, requested the secretariat to proceed in

operationalizing the following criteria:

(a)

Maintaining the original timelines for mandates and submission deadlines to

the extent possible, and informally advancing work mandated to be initiated in 2020,

particularly if mandated to conclude in 2020 or 2021;

(b)

Maintaining the mandated number of meetings and delivering reports of the

constituted bodies as originally planned in 2020–2021. In this regard, meetings of the

constituted bodies originally mandated to be held in conjunction with a session can be held

virtually in the absence of a session;

(c)

Extending the current membership of the Convention, Kyoto Protocol and

Paris Agreement bodies as needed until successors can be appointed or elected;

(d)

possible.

Holding events in 2020 that were scheduled to be held in 2020, to the extent

In response to the Bureau guidance and in preparation for this session, the COP 25

Presidency and incoming COP 26 Presidency, in coordination with the Chairs of the

subsidiary bodies, advanced work informally under the governing bodies

with a view to

maximizing progress and minimizing delays in the UNFCCC process resulting from the

COVID-19 pandemic.

Session numbers and dates referred to in mandates in previous decisions may no

longer correspond to timelines for action to be taken. In keeping with the Bureau guidance,

the overarching objective is to maintain timelines and, therefore, the mandated year takes

precedence over the session number.

III.

(a)

Proposed organization of the session: overview

Scenario for the launch of work in all bodies

On 31 October the President of COP 25 will convene the first plenary meeting of

COP 26 and propose the election of the President of COP 26, who will also serve as the

President of CMP 16 and CMA 3. The COP will then take up the organizational and

substantive items on its provisional agenda, including referring items on its agenda to the

subsidiary bodies, as appropriate. The first plenary meeting of the COP will then be adjourned.

The first plenary meetings of CMP 16 and CMA 3 will follow, with each body taking up the

organizational and substantive issues on their provisional agenda, including referring items

to the subsidiary bodies, as appropriate. The first plenary meetings of CMP 16 and CMA 3

will then also be adjourned.

SB 52–55 have been scheduled in conjunction with COP 26, CMP 16 and CMA 3.

A joint plenary meeting of all five bodies will be convened on 31 October, upon

conclusion of the plenaries of the subsidiary bodies, to hear statements from groups of Parties

and observer organizations. It is envisaged that these statements will be concise.

During the conference, meetings will be organized in line with the recommendations

of the SBI

so as to ensure the observance of clear and effective working practices agreed to

by all Parties.

The principles of openness, transparency and inclusiveness will guide the organization

of work leading up to and during the conference. These principles will be demonstrated

through the use of informal plenary meetings, the enhanced availability of electronic

documentation, the timely announcement of meetings and the broadcasting of meeting

information on closed-circuit television, the UNFCCC website, the virtual conference

platform and other digital and social media.

(b)

High-level segment

10.

In May 2021, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom extended an invitation to

Heads of State and Government to attend a World Leaders Summit at the start of COP 26.

During the Summit, Heads of State and Government will be able to make statements. This

portion of the World Leaders Summit will form the first part of the high-level segment. The

high-level segment will be resumed during the second week of the conference to hear

statements from Parties that did not deliver statements in the first part (see paras. 122–129

below).

11.

Further information on the organization of the World Leaders Summit and the

high-level segment will be provided on the UNFCCC website as it becomes available.

(c)

Mandated and other events

12.

At its meeting of 15 October 2020, the Bureau of the governing bodies agreed that the

round table on pre-2020 implementation and ambition would be held in 2020; the fourth

biennial high-level ministerial dialogue on climate finance will be held in 2021 once

mandated inputs have been prepared; and the high-level event on global climate action will

be held at COP 26.

2020 implementation and ambition on the basis of submissions from Parties. The outcomes

of the round table will inform the second periodic review of the long-term global goal under

the Convention.

14.

The following COP-mandated events will be convened at this session:

(a)
