We tag every pavilion session with its topics when we add it to the programme. This page adds them up: 990 sessions from 18 pavilions so far, across the twelve days of COP31.
Each band is a group of related topics. Its height on a day is the number of sessions on those topics that day. Hover a band to see its sessions on each day.
Sun 15 November is the rest day, with no sessions. No sessions published yet for Fri 20 November.

The UNFCCC Official Side Events has published 331 of the 990 sessions, so raw counts lean towards its programme. The pavilion sections below correct for size.
A session can carry more than one topic, so the shares add up to more than 100%.

Topics come from a fixed list of 41 subjects. Each session gets the ones its title and description cover, usually one or two. Pavilion day themes are not counted, and neither are cancelled sessions. The page updates every ten minutes, so it changes as new programmes are published.
Only pavilions that have published a programme appear here. Many have not yet, so this shows what has been announced so far. Browse every session →
