I dont know why you say we in this context. Almost none of us have any control over the decisions of "the world". Its run by billionaires with their paid off politicians, corporate lawyers, judges...
Russia is very corrupt, China as well, USA is getting there...
The problem is not overpopulation, its that humans have no power. What if we wanted to stop spending money on warfare one day and focus all that money on building more high tech buildings, lowering prices of housing, increasing wages,....you know, positive things for humans and prioritize happiness for everyone.
Sounds like a dream right? Because you cant do that, you have no power. Thats the problem, not overpopulation. That can easily be fixed with money and visions, expanding public transport, investing in high tech trains etc etc.
Currently it feels like the only way the world would be able to work together for the good of humanity would be if there was a big asteroid coming, and everyone needed to work together for once, putting our little stupid differences aside. We could do that, but leaders are children and very low on empathy or interests in making life better for strangers.
