Abstract: - Climate change reality is affecting the biodiversity, socio- economic-demography and export trade competitiveness in south Asia. In Asia, South Asia region is worst caused by global warming.The main aim of the study is to investigate what are the major reasons that the climate change affecting the export competitiveness in south Asia reviewing the vast literature. Due to the climate change,peoples of this region are poor whose occupation depends mainly upon traditional agriculture farming, natural resources, vulnerable climate, to some extend; they have access of manufacturing and less quantity of eco- friendly goods availability. South Asia region has exposed to the threat of precipitation, floods, storms, droughts, cyclones by which export trade capacity has been eroding. People of coastal areas are sufferer due to climatically extreme events. By the climate change, migration, severe heath disease, water contamination, air pollution, soil erosion, land slide and deforestation etc. have been overwhelming in South Asia. Consequently, people’s organic production of exportable items and its share has been constraints. It is obvious that Paris Agreement regarding global warming and climate change adaptation is a milestone for all the concern stakeholders in order to green fund utilization technology development policy taking care of export competitiveness and avoiding climate change vulnerability. In this region, regional integration is necessary to cope with joint framework. Hence, the gap is lack of climate change mitigation and adaptation infrastructures, technology use, climate policy implementation and allocation of green investment fund. It is necessary to build regional strength with common understanding of climate risk to combat climatic extreme event. In this outset, therefore reviewing wide range of literature, it is urgency to investigate how climate is affecting adversely via different situation to export competitiveness explaining various reasons and consequences of climate change.
