The impacts of progressing climatic changes are felt with different intensity around the globe. In many low-income countries, where the adaptive capacity is low and impacts over proportionally high, climate change adds to the existing problems and severe shortages of basic needs and services. The paper presents a list of outstanding worth-to-consider issues to the projections of climatic changes itself, its estimated impacts, plus their implications for social systems and society, mainly depicted via examples of Southern Asia in general, India and Hyderabad in particular. The paper closes with the notion that the emerging global players such as India cannot afford to sit back deedlessly. For the sake of their own security and development they should engage in a post-Kyoto agreement more actively and responsibly with binding targets, and thereby morally obligate others. A protocol post-2012 is a great chance for countries like India, not an imposition.
