Climate change poses a significant threat to the biodiversity of Manipur, a region rich in unique flora and fauna. This study examines the multifaceted impacts of climate change on Manipur's ecosystems, including alterations in species distribution, habitat degradation, and the increased vulnerability of endemic species. The research highlights the critical role of international legal frameworks, such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and the Paris Agreement, in addressing these challenges. By analyzing the effectiveness of these frameworks in promoting conservation efforts and facilitating sustainable development, this paper underscores the need for enhanced cooperation among nations and local stakeholders. The findings suggest that integrating international legal instruments with local conservation strategies is essential for mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on Manipur’s biodiversity and ensuring the resilience of its ecosystems for future generations. The biodiversity of Manipur, characterized by its unique ecosystems and endemic species, is increasingly threatened by climate change. This abstract explores the various dimensions of this impact, including shifts in species composition, altered migration patterns, and the disruption of ecological interactions. In light of these challenges, the role of international legal frameworks becomes crucial. Instruments such as the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change provide essential guidelines for biodiversity conservation and climate action. However, their implementation at the local level often falls short. Ultimately, this research calls for urgent action to integrate climate resilience into biodiversity policies, ensuring the preservation of Manipur's natural heritage amidst the looming threats of climate change.
