The present invention discloses a CO2 responsive core-shell multi-stage swelling microsphere and a preparation method thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding a styrene monomer into a sodium dodecyl sulfate solution for emulsion polymerization to obtain a spherical polystyrene solution, taking azobisisobutyronitrile and ethylene glycol for Pinner reaction to obtain an azo compound with hydroxyl functional groups at two ends, taking the azo compound with the hydroxyl functional groups at two ends as a raw material for Schotten-Baumann reaction with methacryloyl chloride to obtain BPAB, adding the BPAB into the spherical polystyrene solution to prepare an active polystyrene core solution, and dissolving the active polystyrene core solution, acrylamide, a CO2 responsive monomer, a CO2 responsive cross-linking agent and a stable cross-linking agent into water to obtain a target product. The CO2 responsive core-shell multi-stage swelling microsphere of the present invention can remarkably improve the CO2 flooding sweep efficiency.
