an obvious and present existential threat against all humanity would certainly 
foster collaboration (against the common enemy).

note that climate change, while surely bringing untold disaster to humanity, is 
not obvious nor directly present, therefor an insufficient catalyst for global 
action.

if there are aliens i'd ask them to feign attack on humanity, to bring it 
together. then, once we are united against their onslaught, they can tell us, 
"You learned; we're done here."

it hints at their superior intelligence that they stay the hell away from human 
drama, however.

alas, "L'enfer, c'est les autres"
