I think the problem in today's world is that we're so overwhelmed with daily doom stories that we've normalized a persistent inner apathy, cynicism, fatalism. It translates into it being impossible to make people care about anything, no matter how existential. You could predict that without change, the world will be an unlivable hell hole and people will just accept that. It could directly jeopardize their children's future and still nobody cares. It's a kind of crisis fatigue that has made everybody numb. On top of that, volatility in living conditions forces people into short term self-interest. These "luxury long term beliefs" can wait. Easier said than done, but as humanity we need a better story for the future. One that is more optimistic, has tangible benefits, something to get behind and fight for. "Everything's is going to get worse" is not a narrative, people will instinctively reject it at any and all costs.
