As a result, climate change together with poverty and inequality have been occurring in many places as an oppose to wealth and prosperity. In this paper, three different consequences of this issue were analysed; nexus between climate change and inequality, the effect of climate change on human life and the effect of climate change in India. Regarding nexus between climate change and inequalities, now that climate change is the primary push factor to drag people into poverty. Moreover, the more structural inequalities people have, the more severe climate stress that people will face. People in rural areas are more likely to be affected by weather stress because of structural inequalities such as low financial status and unstable and insufficient infrastructure. When they are affected by climate stress and lose the income and employment, they have no choice but to migrate. Especially natural resource sectors are more likely to be influenced and result in losing alternative source of income. When those people find their living is unsecured, they decide to move from rural areas to urban areas. Although they migrate to seek a better living,
