The fastest way to get a civilization to destroy itself is to teach it that accruing material wealth is the only moral good. Put a high price on the most destructive-to-harvest natural resources and they'll tear the world apart digging for shinies.

Capitalism, basically.

In your story's scenario, maybe the main character invents a highly addictive easy-to-create drug and masquerades it as the new go-to worker placation substance, replacing even coffee. Try and monetize humanity's lust for self-destruction and you'll be fine.
