A 2 Celsius increase is going to be pure hell, by the way.
First I would like to share this graph on climate change projections:

As you see the 1.8 C change is a very optimistic scenario already.
On the question of “What to do?” the pre-sale of the new book of Greta Thunberg called the “Climate Book” is already on pre-sale on Amazon. So I’ll let you know when I read it.
My theory is, (first of all we can’t go above 2 C, this would be too great of a challenge for future generations), SO if we can achieve 1.7, 1,8 or something like that, we may than look to where we can go from there and I don’t think this situation would be completely impossible to manage given our capacities of adaptation and innovation.
I think that what really matters is that efforts are being made. As long as concrete steps are taken and these are followed by bigger steps (like truly reducing carbon emissions by 50% in 8 years – Which is a task for titans -) I think there is a chance.
Another such effort is happening in India and it’s called the “Save Soil Movement”. Soil (healthy organic soil, with at least 3% of organic material – living metabolisms - in it) is also a huge carbon trap if you treat it properly. By planting more trees around these soils you can attract more rain water and reduce your dependence to other types of irrigation and you can save the farmers by doing it. Here is a web link on this:

There is this and many other innovative methods, like ecofriendly houses, recyclable building materials, seaweed cultivation for the feeding of farm animals, clean energy powered hydrogen energy,
This is a speech given by Chad Frischmann, on how we can use and combine many solutions and innovations to global warming to end up with a bearable level of global warming by the end of this century:
