Just like global warming, ridiculous wealth inequality and housing crises, outdated primary education systems, air and water pollution, diabetes and obesity crises, increasing prevalence of autism, and still ongoing COVID need action.

I think the pandemic gave us a good reality check about how much is going to actually get done about an urgent crisis: not much.

Describing everything you identify with as a crisis seems overdone. A crisis that extends over years is hardly an emergency.

There may be better language to attract people to get involved in your projects.

What an excellent strategy to deal with any emergent crisis — do nothing! After enough time passes, it is no longer an emergency.
