In order of most emissions created:
#1) stop exporting/importing goods using oil fueled cargo tankers and planes.
#2) kill 99% of all cows and other large farm animals and keep the populations at natrual levels, no more meat industry except maybe chickens.
#3) make it illegal to drive cars for non essential purposes. (And no, getting groceries and going to work wouldn't be essential)
