Apocalyptic disaster movies invite us to imagine our world engulfed by giant waves and earthquakes or overrun by hostile aliens. But, according to a report from the Climate Institute, a realistic doomsday scenario lies on the horizon: a world without coffee.
Climate change threatens the existence of coffee, with major impacts expected within this lifetime, according to the Australian nonprofit organization. The Climate Institute’s September report cites a 2015 study that says the amount of land suitable for growing coffee could be cut in half by 2050 and another that predicts wild coffee could become extinct by 2080.
Here are the countries that produce the most coffee, according to the International Trade Centre.
