The solutions will require citizens using their power through their governments to require businesses to produce less pollution. If you are looking for an answer that does not involve any conflict between government and business, then you will be looking for a long time.
A carbon tax has the advantage of being market driven. It isn't the government picking winners and losers. It isn't trying to force people to pick a certain path. Just make carbon more expensive, and let the market figure out the best solutions to that problem.
