If you ruled the world, what would you implement to help with climate change

Daydreaming if world domination whilst doing a rain dance...

If you ruled unilaterally, what would you do to make things (anything) more climate friendly? I would

• set net zero targets for much sooner (net zero 2050/2030 feels like ages given the emergency) and would require companies to have solid plans to get there. Probably set it for the next 3 to 5 years. Massive fines if you don't meet targets.

• mandate large scale public transport infrastructure upgrades in big cities where there isn't enough (tax the billionaires to pay for it) and make driving in them difficult (ULEZ, scant parking etc)

• renationalise energy and water, with the view to run it on clean energy and without pumping effluent into the rivers / sea. I imagine there would need to be massive upgrades here too to achieve that. Not renationalising because the private sector is being a bunch of thieves dishonest, But because things need to move quickly now, this is an emergency.

• make eating meat / dairy / fish illegal (I know I'll get flamed for this one...) --

-- What would you do?

Machine guns on a speed boat is far too luxurious. I think it needs to be swabbing the deck, slop buckets and shinning up the rigging.

@GiraffeInTheCity to actually answer your question I would require every company and organisation in the world to produce annual sustainability accounts and produce a roadmap to net zero at both organisational and product or service level. These would need to be independently audited.The roadmaps would have to align to the carbon budgets set by the Climate Change Committee, any emmisions over target would be penalised and any below target could be traded or receive a credit.
