The largest global action has been the Paris thing, which is trying to be proactive, i.e. "we can still win this, and here's how".
But the largest (or 2nd largest[?], but it doens't matter) offender has removed themselves from the agreement. I'm only aware of small municipalities taking action to handle the inevitable (e.g. on the east coast of the US), but it's not going to help at a national or global level.
You kind of have to force compliance. With proactive action, it always seems overly aggressive to force compliance. With reactive action, it feels okay as you can honestly point at things that improved due to your force.
I have a feeling a war would do more damage to the climate than someone pulling out of the paris agreement would ever do, if that's how you're suggesting how to enforce compliance
