Former US Vice President Al Gore has commended the global ‘Three Zero’ movement, launched by Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus, aimed at combating carbon emissions, wealth concentration, poverty, and unemployment. 

The praise came during a meeting between the two at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday.

Gore, a prominent climate change advocate, expressed his support for the movement and Bangladesh's reform programs initiated by Professor Yunus’s interim government. The meeting also covered topics such as the July uprising, climate change, and the efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of global warming.

During the discussion, Gore emphasized his backing for Bangladesh’s efforts to fix its institutions and transition towards democracy through free and fair elections.

Professor Yunus also presented Gore with The Art of Triumph, a book showcasing graffiti and wall paintings from the July uprising, which Gore praised as "amazing" and highlighted the revolutionary spirit of Bangladesh’s youth.
