Its not personal enough. Until something actual effect a person personally (and by that I include emotionally) people generally are not interested. The thought of x Gppl dieing (probably in a land far away) some time in the distant future doesn’t really get personal for most people to be bothered.
As for a sustainable society, I think a sustainable population is a necessary condition. I hope we can achieve that through education and environmental design. However, note that such a population stabilisation will present problems for a capitalist system that requires growth.
