Abstract:

Aim of the study: It is an attempt to understand the most complex phenomenon which is climate change, the buzzing issue of modern world where the development is on its apex in every field of life. It also emphasise on various indicators and effects of climate change on south Andaman Islands which are rich biodiversity. Materials and Methods: The current study is based on secondary source of data, which has been collected from different books, journals, newspapers, and various search engines are also used. Mostly reports and surveys of national and international bodies are employed. Results: Rise in sea level during the last century the sea level had risen at a mean rate of 1.8mm per year (Bruce C. Douglas 1997) and presently it is near about 3mm per year. It means that Coastal regions have to face big problems in near future if it cannot be checked at right time. It is also big concern for us, because our country has large area of land near the costal regions. Like in this research paper we focus on south Andaman Islands, which are surrounded by water if the sea level increases in the same pace in near future the low lands of south Andaman will come under the water. Conclusion: atmosphere of our earth keep the planet warm, without the warm cover of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and tiny vapours of water there is zero possibility of life on earth. But if there is excess release of greenhouse gases in air like N2O, CH4, CO2 and CFCs through human activities that will be the cause of climate change. The impact of climate change in South Andaman has been observed through different parameters like loss of biodiversity, change in rain fall patterns (which affect the forests, vegetation and agriculture of south Andaman), rise in sea level (may threaten the low coast line of south Andaman), affect coastal ecosystems like mangrove forests and disruption to local communities and their livelihood.
