For all the understandable criticism of COPs & the need for more ambitious emissions reductions, the fact projected global warming has gone from towards 4°C or more to about 2.3–2.5°C now really should be mentioned more often to highlight that global progress is being made & can be built upon
“Widespread international support for the Australia-Pacific bid to host next year’s climate negotiations did not translate into a clear win,” writes Ryan Neelam in The Interpreter.

That's more than 1,100 jobs lost at the CSIRO over the last two years.
"Combined, the staff association estimates that equates to cutting the agency’s size by a third."
This is more cuts to the CSIRO than was attempted by the Abbott government.

Mandatory standards for EV charging or batteries cost hundreds to access. This is slowing the net-zero transition and killing innovation.
