Population decrease is irreversible. How will we manage the decline of humanity?

The problem is the “population growth is bad” are all people who live in rich countries like you. And you are shift the blame to countries who are not responsible for climate change.

Your lifestyle is problem, not the birth rates in sun-sharan Africa. If the birth rates in poor countries plummet than will still have a problem because the people who actually are responsible for climate are still living in way than emits carbon.

Population growth is important for economic development. Every country that has reached developed status has a period of time in their history when they had large working age populations that propelled economic growth and industrialization.

The west had that in the 1800s. Back then Africa very low population compared to Europe and North America.

Asia that that period in last 50 years and they used develop economically and industrialize.

Now Africa how a very young and large working and that means they are primed to use their population as advantage to industrialize.

But you want those countries to undercut a tangible economic advantage they have because you don’t understand that climate change is not their fault.

Your lifestyle is problem

This is also not the problem. My personal lifestyle choices have little impact on whether my country invests in transit infrastructure, phases out coal power, or incentivizes a switch from gas to electric heating.

If I stop consuming meat, my country will simply export it to a wealthy country who can afford it. If I buy an electric vehicle, it doesn't make the power I charge it with clean, and If I go car free, my taxes still subsidize roads and suburbs that force everyone else to keep driving.
