Join Conservation International for the 10-year milestone of the Sustainable Coffee Challenge, marking the transition from our community’s first decade of building partnerships and mainstreaming sustainability in coffee to our next chapter of scaling investment and impact.
This virtual event, hosted by Innovation Forum, united coffee actors to explore innovative strategies and finance mechanisms that sustain coffee producing landscapes, tackling supply chain risks and fulfilling ambitious commitments from both government and industry.
What we discussed:
- A look back at how the Sustainable Coffee Challenge has built momentum and trust across the sector, highlighting ‘green shoots’ of collaborative action
- Forward-looking insights on what (more) is needed to truly address the dual crises of climate change and nature loss impacting coffee’s long-term resilience
- Discussion on tackling supply chain risks and unlocking innovative finance through landscape transition, supporting producers and meeting industry and government commitments, as we approach 2030
- A meeting point for stakeholders across the coffee value chain to connect on the next chapter of collaborative action
