# **More Coffee-Harming Heat Due to Carbon Pollution**

*A new analysis from Climate Central *

Content assets ready for media, creators, and partners

People love coffee, but it’s getting harder to produce (and more expensive to buy) – and climate change is one reason why.

Extreme weather in global coffee-growing regions has likely contributed to coffee price spikes in recent years.

New analysis from Climate Central shows that climate change added more coffee-harming heat to the world’s coffee-growing regions during 2021-2025, potentially affecting the quality and quantity of recent harvests.

The 25 coffee-growing countries analyzed account for about 97% of global coffee production — and all of them experienced more coffee-harming heat during the past five years because of climate change.

The top five coffee-growing countries, responsible for 75% of the world’s supply, experienced on average 57 extra days of coffee-harming heat annually because of climate change.
