    Climate change is threatening coffee production and quality. Approximately 75 of 124 coffee plant species are at risk of extinction, primarily arabica and robusta varieties. Small-scale farmers who produce 70% of the world's coffee will be hardest hit, facing declines in quality and quantity. As a result, coffee prices will rise and premium beans will become harder to find for consumers. Efforts to address this include farmers planting shade trees, initiatives by companies like Starbucks to support farmers, and government research into solutions.
