I believe it’s a naive belief at best that the climate is merely a problem of land use. Personally, I think it’s a double whammy of end-stage capitalism and population.
I don’t think there are solutions to overpopulation. It’s just a game that will play out as it does.
Capitalism, the incredible food waste of the culinary industry and markets, fossil fuels, etc, are obviously our big problems.
Land use can be better, but ALL of these things are problems. ALL of them are contributing.
I mean, fuck, great, you heard an inspiring urban planner talk once. Good for you.
But we are at an “everything contributes, everything is a problem” phase.
Even electric vehicles are a BIG problem we are burying our heads in the sand about because all those batteries need to be solved somehow when they become obsolete.
Solar panels need recycling or reuse.
We do not have solutions for our “solutions.” The only thing that flat-out changes things is the end of fossil fuel & fewer people.
