If I may, a systemic solution is available: "Two Possibilities within MMT" ('Modern Monetary Theory') here in Medium but not behind the paywall. Among other good outcomes, it would end the political imperative that now exists to maximize total output in order to maximize employment, total income, and the collection of taxes (at whatever rates exist). That would be the biggest possible single boon to sustainability. It could be adopted by any nation 'overnight', with a single legislative Act.
