Provide education, jobs and contraceptives to those with high reproduction rates —pop growth will slow thus putting less pressure on the environment (see China vs India). Less encroachment on nature, less sequestered carbon released. Help to modernize poor countries' energy grids and electrify the hinterlands.

Get people in rich countries to give up cheap disposable stuff and give up energy consuming entertainment (international travel, etc) and get them to live frugally, obviously including the superwealthy.

Don’t celebrate becoming rich. Don’t celebrate consumerism. Put down tiktok, put down instagram. Practice secular (or religious) asceticism and be comfortable with that.

Oh, wait, people don't want to actually do what will work.
