If climate change continues at its current pace, it is estimated that 40 to 60 percent of the areas currently producing coffee may no longer be suitable for coffee cultivation.

Studies indicate that by 2050, climate change could lead to a 10 percent loss in Ethiopia’s total production.

Currently, 10 percent of the country’s total production is already being lost due to climate change.

To prevent this, it is necessary to take immediate action to make the country’s economy less vulnerable to climate change.

According to Kefalegn Getahun, Coordinator of Ethiopia’s Climate-Resilient Green Economy, climate change poses a significant threat globally, particularly in countries like Ethiopia.

Kefalegn Getahun explains that the threat to the agricultural sector is particularly concerning, with climate change causing soil degradation and drying up water bodies, as confirmed by studies.

Coffee production, a major source of Ethiopia’s foreign currency earnings, is at risk of being severely impacted by climate change, according to Kefalegn Getahun.

Beyond agriculture, the increasing pressure of climate change on public health is becoming more severe, and Kefalegn Getahun recommends that the country undertake measures to mitigate climate change.

The Ethiopian government’s efforts over the past 10 years in soil and water conservation are considered a good start in combating climate change.

It is also stated that utilizing renewable energy and expanding infrastructure nationwide are necessary steps.
