Abstract

It is anticipated that climate change will severely affect agricultural production in the future, which could negatively impact the production of Fairtrade products around the world. Therefore, Fairtrade International commissioned a study to assess potential climate change impacts on the production and producers of major Fairtrade crops. For this purpose, we performed several different analyses:
1. Literature review on how climate change has so far impacted banana, cocoa, coffee, cotton, sugarcane and tea production; 2. A spatially explicit analysis to identify the extent and locations of future climate change extremes; 3. A review of Fairtrade documents regarding future climate change and adaptation; 4. A survey with producing organizations from two hotspot regions: South India (tea and coffee) and Ghana (cocoa).
