WSDS 2025 served as a platform to recognise youth-led initiatives and encourage meaningful engagement. In addition, certificates were awarded to youth contributors in appreciation of their valuable support to the Summit.
The 5th edition of the Youth Climate Conclave (YCC 2024–25) culminated in the felicitation of winners of the debate and photography competitions during the valedictory session at WSDS 2025. The event also featured the presentation of the ‘Youth Pledge’, drafted by 95 youth from 12 states, driving youth-led climate action. For more information, click here.
