Project Drawdown has characterized a set of 93 technologies and practices that together can reduce concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. It’s a gigantic project with a lot of data and analyses.
In the linked video, the author goes through the measures to find which one is the most cost effective in terms of ratio of rCO2 reduction and economic cost
The maybe surprising result is that building bike infrastructure to shift a not even big percentage of travels from cars to bicycles or ebikes, is very cheap and has a huge effect on emissions.
The premise is that all solutions should be implemented to have a significant effect, but some are easier done than other.

The producers and consumers are two sides of the very same coin. Those companies aren’t just emitting 80% of the GHGs for giggles, they’re satisfying consumer demand. If we shut them down—and no other companies popped up to pick up the demand—our lifestyle would have to change radically.
Building bike infrastructure is one of the most cost-effective ways to change our lifestyle.
