Concrete and jet travel are not existential. They're a few percent of the total. 3% for cement and 2% for aviation. Less than 1% for long haul aviation.
If that was it the only thing left, we'd have no problem. That's at pre-industrial emissions level. https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2020/09/Emissions-by-sector-%E2%80%93-pie-charts.png https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2020/09/Emissions-by-sect...
Long haul aviation makes immigration feasible without dangerous long ship trips, which are worse emissions than long haul aviation. So we should keep them around in some form, but we can improve the efficiency and even electrify them.
