My variant was "are considering". Reason - it is a temporary situation. As we are writing an essay on the problem, then it can be improved. Then it was said: 'Over the last few years'. That is why I consider it as temporary.
Maybe it is a stative verb? But the dictionary doesn't mark it as such: https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/consider?q=consider
Could you help me?
