The Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung Coffee&Climate Initiative supports sector stakeholders for climate change adaptation in coffee production. The goal is to provide coffee producers and service providers with knowledge and instruments that enable them to apply and finance climate change adaptation strategies. The initiative started in 2010 with a pilot project in four regions: Brazil, Tanzania, Trifinio and Vietnam. The Initiative’s core element is the C&C toolbox, which constantly evolves, as members of the C&C initiative and users of the tools contribute with their research, experiences and materials.
