The climate change has become the most debated global talk due to its devastating effects on human beings, flora, fauna, other organism and economy across the globe. There is a direct link between the effects of climate change and violation of human rights. The world is going under the climate emergency and therefore climate justice is an elementary requirement to protect the rights of human beings and a healthy ecosystem. India is one of the worst climate change affected country. Hence, climate justice is more essential and the need of the hour in India. There are no appropriate laws in India to compensate for the loss or violation of human rights that occur due to climate change, and there is also no proper legal mechanism to address the impact of the same and ensure climate justice in India. However, the judiciary has played a vital role in warranting climate justice and declaring that human beings have fundamental rights against the effects of climate change in a landmark judgment recently. The basic objectives of this research paper are to analysed and explore the new horizons of the climate emergency in India. Further to analysed the legal measures in India and other countries to tackle the climate change impact and suggest feasible legal measures to deal with climate change. The research methodology would be doctrinal, where written sources such as books, journals, e-resources, etc. will be analysed, and also published numerical data will be gathered to establish the link between climate change and its impact on the ecosystem and human beings, particularly.
