In a speech at Soka University, Tokyo, Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus warned that current civilization is heading toward self-destruction due to environmental degradation. He reiterated his vision of the "Three Zeros"—zero poverty, zero unemployment, and zero net carbon emissions. Dr. Yunus proposed the creation of “Three Zero Clubs” where five individuals can pledge to avoid fossil fuel use entirely. He criticized profit-driven economic models that disregard ecological and social sustainability.
