African birth rates have declined steadily since the 1950's:

There have also been lots of state/local-level initiatives in the US. USA is still an innovative driving-force of the world even though some leaders have tried to sabotage it.
Africa still has birth rates 3 times higher than Europe. That's a lot.

They are, which is why I initially replied to the comment that singled it out.

I don't think significantly poorer countries are a fair comparison; they can't afford to do better. The US is the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
Among wealthy countries, the US is the exception (maybe there's one I'm not thinking of).
I don't think it is. For exemple, Brazil and China are both terrible from a climate perspective. Africa is also not reducing their numbers of births. The USA may be behind Europe, but the rest of the world still exists.
