> the overwhelming majority of emissions is actually in developed countries.

This is true, but the low hanging fruit (in terms of cost) in terms of drawdown might be developing countries, where things like birth control, paying farmer not to cut down rainforest, etc can be done inexpensively.



There's also a lot of low hanging fruits in developped countries, better farming techniques, electric cars, heat insulation, financing renewables depending of the electric mix, making food products with less emissions cheaper for consumers to shift consumption...

It's true that the state has the upper hand but there's also things that an NGO or a private company could do.

That's moderately hanging fruit, and all of it is being done in most EU countries and to a significant degree in the US.
