In this paper author studied the nexus between poverty and climate change analytically stating that Nordhaus (2010), Hallegatte (2016) and Jacoby, Rabassa, and Skoufias (2011) models estimated the increase in poverty due to impact of climate change which affect more in disadvantaged people as health shock, food insecurity, unemployment, environmental refugee, and lower income. The paper showed linkages between GHG emission per capita and Gini coefficient, between CO2 emission and productivity and linkages between forest resources, climate change and poverty. The paper also suggested some policy recommendations which were prescribed by international institutions and by the results from the projects. The paper emphasised the speedier implementation of REDD+, LULUCF, forest policies, emission reducing policies and to link MDG with SDG to achieve the Paris Agreement target.
