Well, this well-written paper provides the answers: Three Decades of Climate Mitigation: Why Haven't We Bent the Global Emissions Curve? (Stoddard et al., 2021).
It's a long read, but worth it, and would make a great framwork for an upper-level course on climate change. My favorite section is on Page 672: "...any dicussion of emissions reductions is based on a percentage of reduction below current emissions. This presumption establishes deviation from the status quo as the burden to be divided rather than the burdens of the statuts quo themselves."
The rest of the papers in this volume also sound interesing - have a look: https://www.annualreviews.org/toc/energy/46/1
