Project Active from 1 Jun 2025 to 1 Jun 2026 Sustainable Growth, Firms and Trade

Coffee farming in Colombia faces threats from climate change and forest fires, endangering the country’s economy and more than 500,000 rural households reliant on coffee exports. This project aims to estimate the risk of forest fires in the Colombian coffee regions, assess their impact on coffee productivity, and provide mitigation and adaptation policy recommendations.
