NPR reports that the effects of climate change could impact Ethiopia's coffee production. In parts of the country, spring and summer rains have already declined by 15 percent to 20 percent since the 1970s. According to a study published in Nature Plants, Ethiopia could lose anywhere from 39 percent to 59 percent of its current coffee-growing areas to climate change by the end of the century.
