Everyone thinks they want something to be done. The simple reason why few things are getting done is that it would seriously affect people's lives.
Right now, rising prices are a massive boon for the environment. Less consumption, more investment in better technology.
But people are angry, and at this rate, will start raging. It may be quite a turning point, if we're not mostly under authoritarian governments by 2030 I'll be happy.
As a collective, we simply do not want to solve climate change. Unless it magically does not affect our lives, then yeah, [whatever group, just not me] can go for it.

The average person has very little control over their own patterns of consumption. The problems are systemic, and changing those will make a few very rich people and organisations a bit less (in some cases a lot less) rich. This is a story of power where the powerful are burning the world and do not care.
