Moving to a predominantly plant-based diet is now required to get near Paris climate targets.

Why not start your own transition today? It has never been easier to switch to a healthier, more sustainable and more ethical diet :)
For some context - I've been working in my spare time on an app to unify the world's climate change movements and make protests/talks/meetups more easily discoverable, no matter what organization they belong to. I've also added support for FridaysForFuture and 350.org and am hoping to get the Transition Towns movement onboard as well. Anyway, here's the iOS app and Android app. Enjoy!
Awww, that's a bummer. It's actually really really lengthy. So I could give you the long version, which is on his website: https://www.jayinslee.com/issues/evergreen-economy Or a short version without a paywall: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/jay-inslee-jobs_n_5cdc8ae4e4b09648227aae06
Yeah, I’m not too concerned about that: We’re Due For Another Ice Age But Climate Change May Push It Back Another 100,000 Years, Researchers Say
You are right we should aim for more minimalist lives, but it will take a few more years until society changes it's behavior. VideoGames help portray a vision of a pefereable future. Whoever is interested could help develop a r/solarpunk game based on https://armory3d.org/ , since then it can be built MIT licensed, free and opensource. would need some brainstorming.
The biggest player in the route back to sustainability of the food system is to dramatically reduce animal agriculture with the major positive mechanism being the change in land use away from farmed land and back to natural ecosystems.

And we surely can't address the huge threats to biodiversity and destruction of wildlife if we cling onto all the land we have taken out of a natural state can we?
We have lost 60% of wildlife in the last 50 years alone
The majority of that loss is due to habitat destruction. We won't arrest or reverse that decline without giving a lot of land back to nature.
I hear what you're saying, however, the relatively short timeframe you're considering does not mean future kinetic warfare won't occur between major powers. And even many smaller countries now have nuclear capability, and don't forget the many times nuclear war almost happened - the Cuban missile crisis. And we now live in an age where information is increasingly unreliable.
Also, a current war is in Syria, with it's relatively small 1 million refugees who flooded Southern Europe, is a mere hint of what lies in store. That war was partly driven by climate change, and those refugees placed significant strain on Europe.
I recommend reading this book, which is a summary of the findings of dozens of studies:
Failing States Collapsing Systems, Biophysical Triggers of Political Violence https://www.amazon.co.uk/Failing-States-Collapsing-Systems-SpringerBriefs/dp/3319478141/
That probably isn't possible until such time as the entire human race (or at least 95% of it) is as desperate and deprived of hope as the German people were in 1933.

We aren't anywhere near that point yet, but we might yet get there.
The e-book is available on amazon for 2.99 here (Non affiliate link). You can read the first three of twenty six stories in the ebook sample.
In addition to designing the cover I also created six interior illustrations. Some of them are already published on my Instagram: @nebular_ink_stain
