I think that food scarcity could be on your list. If we were globally connected 100+ years ago, we might have collectively worried that there was no way to feed our growing population, advocated rules about reproduction, about what we could eat, about how many calories we burned... turns out we really did collaborate globally so that most of us are fed well enough for population to keep growing, and for global quality of life to increasr. And the solution was technological, not dogmatic.
Telling nations and individuals globally that they have to make sacrifices for climate change, and that only the selected few will be able to tell them what they can do, is completely untenable as you say. Working together to come up with more efficient ways to live is not.
