Abstract	Amitav Ghosh’s Gun Island (2019) has attracted considerable scholarly attention for its representation of climate change, migration, ecological disruption, and the relationship between human communities and the more-than-human world. Existing discussions of the novel commonly situate it within climate fiction (cli-fi) and the emerging field of the Environmental Humanities, particularly because Ghosh connects environmental crisis with questions of displacement, culture, history, and human responsibility. A significant area of research concerns the novel’s representation of climate-induced migration. The movement of characters across geographical spaces reflects a changing world in which environmental instability increasingly affects human mobility and questions of belonging. At the same time, the novel presents ecological change through altered animal behaviour, marine environments, extreme weather events, and changing landscapes. Your uploaded abstract similarly identifies rising sea levels, unstable climatic patterns, ecosystem degradation, and human displacement as interconnected concerns.
