The climate change has recently caused problems more seriously in the World including higher ambient temperature, risen sea water levels, super storms, larger flooding, droughts, limited food production, slashed land, reduced arable land, animal diseases and outbreaks, human deaths, etc. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are the crucial reasons for this. While demands of adequate quantity, quality and safe food are increasing due to the increase of human population in the World. In the dry season along the coast areas of many countries, which are the vulnerable regions with the drought and lacking fresh water for human living activities and for agricultural production, particularly for animal water demands. Animal disease outbreaks directly or indirectly affected by climate change have been become more serious for pigs, poultry, cattle and sheep, etc. With the increasing human population in the big cities, animal production systems in the urban areas to supply foods for them are necessary to change from the high to the low pollution, but higher yield of products. Therefore a selection of animal species for raising to improve food production and human livelihood, and to adapt to negatively global changes and to contribute for mitigating causes for climate change i.e. reduced greenhouse gas emissions is very important. Rabbit production, which is easy to apply modernized and automatic systems with low water consumption, environmental pollution and producing areas. However it produces more meat products in a production unit compared to these of other animal species. Rabbit is a herbivore species, which produces lower greenhouse gases compared to ruminants. It is a good potential source for a solution to fulfill the human demand of animal protein in the present view of the need to save feed grains and to fight against hunger. Furthermore, rabbit meat as compared to chicken, beef and pork meat is high in protein and low in fat, and raising rabbits is an excellent choice for the family labor availability. In recent years rabbit population continue to increase in the tropical developing countries for improving meat production by better use of forages as compared to the developed ones. Thus rabbit could be obviously a candidate animal species to satisfy the above requirements for future animal production in the World under climate change with the widen urbanization areas, narrower agricultural lands and seriously epidemic diseases of pig and poultry. In this paper a review of the World crises, GHG production, negative impacts of climate change, animal production solutions, rabbit production characteristics as well as their promising potential adapting to climate change for future production with a better environmental benefit is presented.
