Timely investment can secure the livelihoods of millions of small-scale coffee farmers. An insightful new report by TechnoServe and UNIDO’s ACT Coffee Programme applies a critical climate-risk lens to 10 of the world’s most vital coffee-producing nations.

Key Insights from the Report

• Global Exposure: All 10 benchmarked countries face growing, unavoidable climate stress.
