CA urges youth to build 3-zero clubs for change

 
"I speak of a world of  'three zeros': Zero Net Carbon Emissions, Zero Wealth Concentration to End Poverty and Zero Unemployment by unleashing creativity in all," he said while delivering his Keynote Speech at UN High Level Side Event on Social Business, Youth and Technology at UN Headquarters here.
 
Prof Yunus also emphasised the Zero Waste and called for being a part of the UN Secretary General’s "zero waste initiative".
 
"This is not a dream. It is already becoming reality," he said.
 
"That’s why we’re encouraging young people everywhere to form 3-Zero Clubs—spaces where individuals become 3-Zero people," he added.
 
The chief adviser said a 3-Zero person commits to living sustainably, minimising waste and embracing social entrepreneurship, while they strive to contribute nothing to global warming, nothing to wealth inequality, and nothing to unemployment.
 
He said as more join this movement, these clubs grow into 3-Zero families, 3-Zero villages, 3-Zero cities—and one day, a 3-Zero world.
 
"It starts with a single step. But together, those steps can change the world," he added.
 
Prof Yunus said he has always believed this forum is more than a place for speeches—it is a place for inspiration, reports BSS. 
 
"In these turbulent times, true transformation lies in our unity. If we join hands—harnessing the power of social business, the energy of youth and the potential of technology—we can untangle even the most complex global crises,” he said.
 
"Let us become the architects of a new wave—a world built on justice, sustainability and hope. A world where our collective dreams ignite a new dawn for all of humanity," he added.
