In this paper, we study the gravitational field of a non-stationary global monopole in higher dimension by using field-theoretic energy-momentum tensors for monopole configuration. The solutions are obtained using the functional separability of the metric coefficients. We have shown that the monopole exerts attractive gravitational effects on test particles.
