Zusammenfassung
Der Umgang mit den Folgen des Klimawandels erfordert auch für Indien einen grundlegenden Wandel der Denkweise, des Verhaltens, der Handlungen und Werte. Im Zentrum der weltweiten Klimadebatte steht deshalb die Forderung, Wirtschaftswachstum mit Klima- und Umweltschutzmaßnahmen in Einklang zu bringen. Mit Blick auf Treibhausgasemissionen (THG-Emissionen) hat Indien in der Vergangenheit im Vergleich zu anderen Ländern zwar sehr wenig beigetragen und noch sind Indiens jährliche Pro-Kopf-Emissionen eher niedrig, doch aufgrund seiner großen Bevölkerung ist das Land bereits jetzt der drittgrößte Emittent weltweit. Durch zukünftige Wohlstandsgewinne und weiteres Bevölkerungswachstum, werden absehbar sowohl Pro-Kopf-Emissionen als auch Indiens Anteil an den weltweiten THG-Emissionen weiter ansteigen. Deshalb sind Klima- und Umweltschutzmaßnahmen in Indien von hoher Bedeutung. Wie wird der Klimawandel sich auf Indiens Gegenwart auswirken und welche Rolle wird er für die Zukunft des Landes spielen, wird im vorliegenden Kapitel diskutiert.
