Climate change and global warming are highly affecting the cultivation conditions worldwide. This bachelor thesis analyses the global warming related changes on the global green coffee market - especially for C. arabica - to derivate approaches for German coffee producers to adapt their procurement strategies. In this context this thesis forecasts the worldwide supply and demand for C. arabica for the year 2050, which shows a large gap between C. arabica supply and demand in 2050 - and presents a limited number of approaches for German coffee producers to reduce the impacts of the climate change and to secure the C. arabica supply. This thesis shows that German coffee producers need to act and proposes how this could be realised. This bachelor thesis was submitted at Osnabruck University of Applied Sciences in 2015 under the title: Analysis of the climate change related changes on the global green coffee market for the derivation of procurement strategy alternatives of German coffee producers .
