On May 16, 2025, the Youth Thinkers’ Society partnered with Team ,an annual initiative of the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Kathmandu University, to host an Open Circle Debate Competition centered around the theme “Zero Carbon Emission,” with Dhulikhel envisioned as the model city.
This dynamic event brought together passionate young minds, fostering the exchange of impactful ideas, promoting environmental awareness, and championing the cause of a sustainable, carbon-neutral future.
Six diverse teams debated across three key topics revolving around problems, policies and governance, and solutions respectively. Students from various faculties at Kathmandu University presented thoughtful arguments and articulated their perspectives with conviction. This collaboration between Team Prakriti and the Youth Thinkers’ Society exemplifies the drive of KU students to extend their learning beyond textbooks, seeking meaningful platforms to make their voices heard.
Through initiatives like this, YTS aims to empower youth by providing opportunities where their insights and contributions truly matter.
