Crista Stubbs recognized the fragility and vulnerability of ecosystems on the Caribbean side of Nicaragua early on. This vulnerability is directly linked to climate change. She already dedicated herself to this topic in her bachelor thesis. In her master's thesis at the University of Vienna she deepened the subject and examined the role of the mangrove ecosystems on the east coast of Nicaragua in relation to their ability to store CO2. She was a scholarship holder of APPEAR - Austrian Partnership Programme in Higher Education and Research for Development. One of her most recent research projects examines the vulnerability of local producers after Hurricane Iota devastated the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua in November 2020. Iota hit the coast shortly after Hurricane Eta. These rapid on-going natural disasters made it difficult for local people to deal with the consequences. Hurricanes are not uncommon in this region, but climate change makes them more likely to happen now and in the future. So it is the adaptation to the consequences of climate change that plays an important role in this region. In this podcast, Crista Stubbs tells about her experiences in Austria, about climate protection and climate change adaptation in Nicaragua and about how the population is affected by natural disasters.
Today we talk about the recent natural disaster that hit Central America. A coffee importer we work with in Guatemala shared the news on social media, and it felt so personal for us. We have bought coffee from these countries that were hit by Hurricane Eta, and to know their families and communities were heavily impacted moved us deeply. These moments have significant future impacts for these communities and the coffee industry as a whole.
Hurricane Eta and Iota devastated the country of Honduras and Central America like never seen before in November of 2020. With the Covid-19 pandemic destroying crops and food supply for many in the neighboring countries, Food For The Poor is stepping up and working with the churches and people on the ground to help give the relief the people need. Todd Chatman from Food For The Poor joined KMC for the entire program to help spread the message to help provide support for these people in need any which way you can.
Welcome to Recap, a brief overview of recent coffee developments every two weeks from the Specialty Coffee Association.It may have only taken Hurricane Eta 36 hours to grow from a tropical depression to a strong category four storm, but it will take those who fell in the storm's path months, if not years, to recover. Traveling through Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Panama, Hurricane Eta caused an initial US$5 billion in damage. Compared to 1998's Hurricane Mitch, the most destructive storm to hit Central America, Hurricane Eta is expected to cause more damage due to the speed at which the water rose. Sustained winds, flash floods, and mudslides affected millions of people and destroyed thousands of hectares of crops. Estimates of damage to coffee-growing regions have been slow to arrive, because the damage to roads and other infrastructure has kept coffee institutions and producer organizations from reaching those areas hardest hit. However, coffee smallholders are likely particularly affected, as the storm's arrival coincided with the beginning of what was expected to be a very fruitful harvest. This comes at a time when most of the communities affected were already struggling with labor shortages and a drop in production due to COVID-19. “We fear that families will struggle with immediate food insecurity, severe harvest loss, loss of income, and might need to rebuild houses,” said Pablo Ruiz of Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung, an NGO working in the region. A number of donation drives have been launched to try and address the immediate needs of the coffee smallholders by actors in the sector. These include, but are not limited to: Operation Eta, Ally Coffee, Funcafé, Anacafé, Habitat for Humanity Guatemala, Acción Joven Foundation, New Destiny Foundation, Lafise Bank, and Onyx Coffee. Devastatingly, at the time of recording, a second hurricane, a category two storm named Iota, is projected to make landfall in the same location on Monday, November 16, two weeks after Eta. The frequency, strength, rapid intensification, and total rainfall of this year's storms are further evidence of the ongoing climate crisis. The effects of the climate crisis on subsistence farmers, compounded with low coffee prices, has historically led to an increase in emigration from the region. According to the Guardian, Central American governments were already struggling with the economic downturn of the pandemic. Where international governments have stepped in to fill gaps during natural disasters affecting the region before, they are unlikely to be as forthcoming with aid due to their own pandemic-related problems now.The Inter-African Coffee Organization is currently holding its 60th general meeting in Ghana. Dr. Emmanuel Dwomoh, the Deputy Chief Executive of Ghana's Cocoa Board, has called for cocoa farmers, producers, roasters, and distributors to grow and process coffee. Noting that coffee can grow in some areas where cocoa can't, Dr. Dwomoh cited the growing culture of coffee consumption in Ghana and across Africa as an opportunity for the young generation to expand and develop the coffee sector. The President of the Coffee Federation of Ghana also suggested that coffee could help regain land previously lost to illegal mining activity. He noted that, although the coffee industry had struggled for a long time, coffee plants mature more quickly than cocoa and are easier to process, and are therefore more profitable. A previously competitive coffee producer, Ghana largely abandoned the crop in the 1980s due to the global collapse in the price of coffee.

Just two weeks after Hurricane Eta hit Central America, Hurricane Iota has done the same causing even more destruction and loss of life in multiple countries. The impact of these back to back weather events, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, could cause an increase in migration out of the area.
