Heather Coleman's comments on Smuckers fiasco with investors picked up by ClimateWire

Fellow(s): Heather Coleman

Heather Coleman's (2003) blog post, about the Smuckers fiasco with investors over climate change and the coffee business, was picked up by ClimateWire and published by the New York Times and others.

"Public disclosure of risks is the first step towards ensuring communities in Smucker's supply chain are adequately protected from impending climate risks such as floods, droughts and extreme weather events," wrote Heather Coleman, climate policy adviser for Oxfam, in a blog post. "It is critical that small-scale farmers gain access to adequate resources to prepare for and respond to these threats."
