Majority will trade distant future for today's comfort. We only have hopes on minority warriors and scientists who see this sign and force us to take action before it's too late.
There are probably a series of decisions that we could have make as a worldwide civilization that does not involves the notion of sacrifice whatsoever.

I really don't think so. The cheap and easy thing has always been to burn the fossil fuels, cut down the forests, fish until there are no more fish, and hunt until there are no more prey. The only hope for the future is if we care for it.
What about emerging countries increasing women’s education and having fewer children much later?

Instead of beating around the bush and choose easy targets such as fossil fuels and forests, do something about it.

Ah, so... you think more people should be working on this? I'm under the impression everyone in those poor countries with high birth rates is already working to move themselves or their country into a better economic position, and when they do, birth rates will fall and resource consumption will still go up, because rich people consume more resources, even when there are fewer of them. How does that solve the problem of the so-called "easy targets" like fossil fuels and forests?

Hopefully we do a better scientific study and take action as quickly as possible to first understand the signs and mitigate the effects to make our earth more balanced.
We as a society should have a stronger scientific temperament which will help us to take action. We should give up selfish behaviour and skeptics like the popular leaders in some countries denying climate changes by human for the sake of power, politics and votes.
We should denounce it, before we become extinct due to irreversible damage.
