This paper overviews the impact of urban areas and cities on global warming and subsequent climate change and the risks associated with it. These risks pose a challenge to resource management and infrastructure planning and display the urgency of of adapting city-level operations to both current climate variability and future climate change. It is proposed that efforts be made to understand the impacts of climate change on Indian cities and assess the interventions to counter these impacts
