The paper reviews the recent attempts to recognise the status of climate change refugees in the world. The climate change phenomena is recognized as a hoax by the people and thus these people are not recognized by the United Nations in the definition of ‘refugee’. In the first section of the text, the researcher will mention about the problem of climate change and its impact on people and sustainable development. The researcher mentions about the climate change phenomena and how it is not a hoax but a very serious problem in the current society. The researcher addresses the issue of climate change and the natural disaster that occurred at Andaman and Nicobar Islands and the surrounding areas due to the movement of tectonic plates. The researcher also states various measure taken by the government of India to combat the climate change issues and also the steps taken by the government during the natural disaster of 2004. The researcher also gives various suggestions and recommendations going forward. The paper seeks to answer the question: Whether climate change is happening and whether environmental refugees should be recognized and included in the definition of refugees?
