What environmental and social issues present challenges to the world?

I think some of these can be overpopulation, plastic pollution, deforestation, and air pollution.

And how can we overcome those issues?

Overpopulation: Educating teenagers about sex education. Consider adoption and learn that it is not a bad action.

Plastic pollution: Stop using unnecessary and reused plastic.

Deforestation: Stop cutting trees and destroying forests. Planting more trees on flat lands.

Air pollution: Using transports that do not contaminate, like bicycles or public transportation.

Poverty and inequality: This problem is widespread and is due to differences in opportunities, income and access to resources. Addressing it may require policies that support equal pay, high-quality education and easily accessible health care, etc. However, eradicating it would require many other efforts.
