Abstract

Climate change has altered the habitats and disrupted the ecosystems. Displacement is also common due to climate changes. In this modern world, people who have been forced to leave their places temporarily or permanently are environmental refugees due to climate changes such like physical, chemical or biological changes in ecosystem. The rising sea level has become threat for the survival of Maldivians due to global warming in the Indian Oceans because Maldives is the smallest states of South Asia consisted of Islands. Consequently, they have to migrate other places. On the other hand, at international level, there is neither international conventions on environmental refuges nor international institutions for them.  In this article researcher has used the descriptive analytical research methodology to analyze the role of United Nations to protect the environmental refugees of Maldives.
