When people don't eat meat, they eat more of other things. You would reduce impact but not remove it. And ban enough, you could have a revolution coming.
Raising the price of meat to the point where one can only afford to eat it once a week is more realistic and attainable in five years. Then from there, consumers may realise they don't want to pay for the luxury and stop eating meat altogether.
Realise that people's identities are tied to their diets. To ask them to change their culture requires either a Year Zero type change, or more subtle nudging.
