As a part of the same event, the A level students of Chelsea International Academy with the support from Yes Club, Nepalese Youth For Climate Action (NYCA), One Degree Initiative Nepal, and Innovation For Action Awareness and Activism (IF3A), marched their way from Naya Baneshwor to Tundikhel on Wednesday.

“The global youth march is to let the world know that climate change is a moral issue and not a political or financial one,” states the official website.
Throughout the march the students took part in various activities like sit ups, singing songs and sloganeering on climate change, bubble gum blowing and cleaning the streets.
Shrijan Amatya, organizing team and the initiator of the rally, said, “The environment is degrading by the day and this is just a small step toward creating awareness.”
The rally, according to him, was a ‘successful one’. “Before Krishna Towers, Baneshwor the participants carried out sit ups twenty times, at Maitighar Mandala ex-Minister of Environment, Ganesh Shah delivered a speech, and we also did a sixty-second garbage collecting competition among ourselves,” Amatya said.
The rally which finally ended in Tudikhel formed a human logo of iMarch.
All the activities were carried out to sensitize the issue climate change and the dangers threatening the environment.
The waste collected by the students during the rally will be handed to the Ministry of Environment.
