The solution to all this is for all countries to establish reduced population targets. Encourage couples to have only one child and help reduce the population.
Instead of governments bending over backwards to try and create more daycare facilities and increasing the childcare benefits to parents for all of the rugrats they produce......only give benefits for the first child and after that you are on your own. You decide to have more than one....you pay for it and don't expect the rest of us to help.
That would encourage people to focus on a smaller family unit. Less people means less greenhouse gasses, the energy reserves would last longer, etc.
