I think the answer is that rich nations immediately need to changeover to nuclear power. This is technology that exists now. What's the saying? The best time to plant a tree was 30 years ago, the 2nd best time is now. Build the reactors NOW.
Once we are on that source, we begin to explore the feasibility of green sources like solar and wind on a mass scale, as well as alternate sources like geothermal and fusion. We have to get away from oil and gas as fuel ASAP.
That is, of course, if we are serious about combating climate change. I have my doubts.
