“Participation” in the 3ZERO Club

“The 3ZERO Club” is an initiative toward achieving the Nobel Peace Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus’s vision.

The “3ZERO” refers to zero net carbon emission, zero wealth concentration for ending poverty, and zero unemployment by unleashing entrepreneurship in all.

The mission of the 3ZERO Club is to ensure that young people ideate, create and lead with their entrepreneurial spirit in order to solve the world’s most urgent current social and environmental challenges.

Forming a group of five members, participants learn from one another and act autonomously. The networking of the Clubs, established around the world, expedites participants’ mutual learning, mutual support, and action.

Specific Steps to Participation

  • Each 3ZERO Club must consist of five members (aged from 12 to 35): the Key Person, the Deputy Key Person, and three other members. The age difference between the oldest and youngest members within a Club cannot be more than seven years.
  • Each Club needs to set its focus area of interest. The focus area may be selected from the list below or set freely.
  • Submit a 3ZERO Club Application Form    to the Ryukoku University Yunus Social Business Research Center. (The details will be provided separately.)
