Climate change is threatening your daily cuppa

As the world leaders gathered in Indonesia for the United Nations’ climate negotiations earlier this month, Cafédirect (the UK’s largest 100% Fairtrade hot drinks company) issued a warning that international tea and coffee production is threatened by climate change. Putting the challenges growers face in the media spotlight, nationally and internationally, Cafédirect used the negotiations as an opportunity to issue a press release to raise awareness of the effect a rapidly changing climate has on international tea and coffee production. The website has further information on the Cafédirect and GTZ climate change project.
