* Further speed up replacing fossil-based power generation with renewables or nuclear, and add grid-scale storage like there's no tomorrow

* End subsidies & stop investment in fossil fuels yesterday

* Electrify everything (factories, transport, air travel, ...) as much as possible

* Stop buying unnecessary goods whose production has big environmental footprint (specifically: CO2 emissions. But also water, land use, mined resources etc)

* Stop slash 'n burn rainforest practices. Return degraded agricultural lands to nature

* Eat less meat

Just to name a few. Most of these are political / economic choices (and to a lesser degree, personal choices). Not so much technology limitations. And don't make us less wealthy or our lives less comfortable (quite the contrary, in many cases).
