As the world representatives gathered in Glasgow, Scotland from October 31 to November 12, 2021 for COP26 summit to bring parties towards the goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, various institutions and organizations got together to show their solidarity to address the current environmental problems of the world.

On November 8, 2021, People's Climate Mobilization Nepal 2021 worked collectively to raise a voice for climate justice as we held various demonstration such as wheel-chair dance, monologues, live art, tree of hope and more at Basantapur, Kathmandu. Previously, there have been successful gatherings for solidarity with the People's Climate March-Kathmandu 2014 and People's Climate Mobilization 2015.

CREASION took part in the demonstrations as a dozen volunteers from VFC Kathmandu joined the mobilization and conveyed their message on the urgency of climate action and the need for climate justice.
