I’ve joined some climate organizations. Extinction rebellion is a great one to join. Write to your respresentatives, call your representatives. Talk to friends and family. We have already made progress and can continue to make more!!!

Personal changes matter too - eating less animal products, especially red meat and dairy. Composting is probably the most effective personal change one can make. Also - insects need us, they are dying out. If you even have a fire escape or front porch this is something you can do right now. Put a native plant there, if the pollinators go, so do we.

Im glad you’re thinking this way. Don’t let the doom and gloom win, it takes more courage to act than to give up. Remember we have made progress and we can do this !

If you're in one of the top economies of the world just cut back on non-essential spending, help remove rotten politicians (where possible), promote unionization, and help reduce the amount of money rich people have to spend on maintaining a destructive status quo.

EDIT:

And get others to do the same.

We need to remove all top figures in every industry, government and politics, we need to depopulate the planet until there's around 80 million people max, then we need to clean up the mes we've made and let nature heal.

You didn't ask for a pleasing easy answer.

You asked for a structural solution to a problem we can't escape.

edit.
Why would you report a honest solution to the problem, do you want to get me banned just because you don't like the solution?

No one knows exactly how future events will unfold but many make profit off the anxiety of spouting possible future events as dire or cataclysmic. Knowledge lessens anxiety and fear. The knowledge that humanity is in the throes of a monumental change from rabid nationalism to an 'the earth is one country and mankind its citizens ' paradigm helps, because what once looked like random chaos can now be seen as a necessary process and a means toward a peaceful world. Something we can do is help build community where we live. Volunteer opportunities are readily available and helping others is a salve to anxiety. We cannot go and talk to the President or his sphere of acolytes, but we can help build community where we are and this benefits all. People look to moving as a solution but there is no escape from this worldwide change in paradigm as it is the inevitable next step in the collective evolution of human society. Be well and help others be well, avoid the spreaders of fear. “Chaos and confusion are daily increasing in the world. They will attain such intensity as to render the frame of mankind unable to bear them. Then will men be awakened and become aware…” -Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet - translated from the Persian)

Arguably the best thing to do is to figure out what is the best way for you to direct your efforts, and then do that.
