Do you really think the the large part of human population around the world living in extreme poverty (multiple billion people) are the problem? As one poster said, if they do transition to "middle class" (whatever that means to them) then they will become part of the climate problem. But right now, the problem lies with us, our hyper-capitalist and super corrupt western societies. Don't distract from that with whataboutism to Africa. Currently, we (meaning western countries, not just geographically, I would count China for example as a western country as well, since to me "western" is a financial/economic definition, not a geographical one) are the problem, not the people living in mud huts, drinking water that Nestlé seized and now sells to them.
We either need to get to 0 net emissions pretty much now, or negative emissions in the not too distant future. Even if we cut the world’s population by half through very unethical means, and did nothing else, we’d still be in trouble. We’re going to have to push forward and innovate our way out, most likely.
