Climate change and the coffee industry

While climate change is just one of numerous factors affecting global coffee production, the International Coffee Organization considers it is likely to be one of the most important ones. Smallholders (who produce the majority of the world’s coffee) are the most vulnerable group – and the least equipped to cope with the changes. Moreover, it is important to note that current initiatives to reduce the extent of global warming are mostly aimed at limiting further warming, not to rapidly reverse it.
