I have to say that I disagree with less people being a reason to hope. One reason for this is, a lower birth rate means less people who can work to change the status quo. As you mentioned, younger people tend to care more about the climate crisis. Having less of those motivated advocates and agents of change is not a good thing.
We have negative 60 years to solve the climate crisis.
All we have now is damage control and a reason to attempt to soften the inevitable collapse.

Thanks for the reply and you make a good point.
