It's never too late if you seriously consider all your options Ie:

Full nuclear energy development with SMRs

Fusion reactors research

Full transition to electric/hydrogen vehicles

Economic sanctions to countries with grid power coming from carbon/ non renewable resources above a certain percentage

Full development of lunar/cis lunar infrastructure/space

Large scale deployment of solar mirror arrays designed to reflect incoming sunlight, built using lunar regolith as raw materials source

Blowing an 88 megatons hydrogen bomb under the sea, below 8 to 12 Km under the ocean floor surface to trigger about 30 years of carbon capture in a second

You know, easy stuff

And so on

I'm a pessimist in that even in the best possible situation humans would still find a way to overpopulate the earth until no solution is viable. We are parasites

Don't disagree that civilization is a parasite, but a lot of parasites evolve to not kill their host 🙂
