agree  Rachel Douglas: Or "The time has come for..." I think yours is the proposal that flies, here. "Urgent" is too strong; some others are not idiomatic. I think "the time is ripe" sounds right, but "the need is right" doesn't. Dunno why, but Google agrees, 559K to 3!

  -> Thank you. "Ripe" seems best to me. But yes, the time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things; of shoes, and ships, and sealing-wax, and cabbages and kings... Also a possibility.

has become apparent


Explanation:
Я бы сказал. Потому как так подразумевается, что необходимость была и раньше, а сейчас вообще привет какая необходимость. В то время как has arisen or has become urgent значит, что ее либо до этого вообще не было, либо фиговая была.
