Around 70% of all coffee is grown from the same plant: the arabica. A 2012 study by the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew predicted these Ethiopian plants will be so badly damaged by climate change their numbers would decrease by 85% before the end of the century. Numbers are also dwindling in this region thanks to deforestation, which could result in higher coffee prices far sooner.
