Abstract	Eco-criticism is a branch of literary scholarship that finds tangible connections between the environment and literature. The environmental problem is one of the most prominent issues of current generation. Climate crisis stands as a sole factor in the environment in view of ecological imbalance. This is an ever increasingly presence in our daily lives. prominent causes of climate change are an increase of green house gasses, deforestation to develop human settlements, excessive use of fossil fuels and so on. Decline in agricultural productivity is another impact of climate change. Thus, this is widely recognized as a contributing and exacerbating factor in immigration. The climate crisis, migration and refugees' acute situation have allegedly lost security and stability of humans and non-humans. The paper attempts to look how Amitav Ghosh has put his best endeavors to discover the inordinate use of nature by human beings. The materialistic and anthropocentric attitudes of human beings undergo extreme climate crisis and the displacement of livings. Now, the major environmental issues become the ethical concerns in the eco pages of literary writers to highlight the problems of ecosystem. The novel "Gun Island" deals with the issue of climate crisis and immigration. Planetary environmentalism identifies the planetary crisis caused by climate change. It seeks environmental justice both for humans and nonhumans across the planet. The whole planet goes beyond geographical boundary because of threatening of climate change. Ghosh in this novel wants to procure awareness among the readers regarding the impending calamities of the global environment and thus a warning to mend exploitative attitudes towards our Mother Nature.
