Together for climate-smart coffee!

The initiative for coffee&climate invites private companies and public partners to join c&c. Roasting companies, trading companies and farmer organizations as well as development agencies can become members. But also NGO’s and research institutes are invited to participate in coffee&climate.

 

Why join c&c?

The initiative for coffee&climate (c&c) is based on the power of pre-competitive partnership. As the challenges of climate change for smallholder coffee farmers and communities are too big to be tackled alone, c&c is the ideal solution for the coffee sector to respond together in a practical way that cannot be found in other setups.

As c&c member you steer the initiative’s operations. You benefit from collaboration and joint fundraising among c&c members for projects and programs that drive implementation. You also profit from networking and exchange among like-minded companies.

  • Our work is action-oriented, with a long track record of practical field experiences and significant achievements from important coffee producing regions.
  • Our approach focuses on smallholder families. It aims at improving their resilience while adapting to changing climatic conditions and mitigating greenhouse gas emissions related to production, processing and transport.
  • We work at farm and landscape level continuously assessing improved practices and tools that support required change.
  • The impact of climate change is too complex to be tackled alone. This is why we believe in joint learning and partnerships focusing on long-term cooperation.
  • With our public web app, the coffee&climate toolbox, we enable a cross-sector exchange of experiences, the dissemination of know-how and foster further scaling.
  • With our impact-oriented work we contribute to achieving the goals of the agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals.
