From Community Roots to the Global Climate Stage: YAKOPI’s Agroforestry Coffee at COP31
Every cup tells a story. At COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, from November 9–20, 2026, this story travels beyond its local roots and finds its place on the global climate stage through YAKOPI’s community-grown agroforestry coffee, officially served at the Indonesia Pavilion.
YAKOPI brings forward a different yet meaningful perspective: climate action is not only reflected in policies and commitments, but also in the everyday efforts of communities who cultivate sustainable livelihoods while caring for their surrounding landscapes. Through its agroforestry initiatives, YAKOPI supports local communities in developing sustainable products that connect economic opportunities with environmental conservation. The coffee presented at COP31 is one reflection of these efforts, representing the dedication of communities in nurturing productive landscapes while contributing to a more sustainable future.
YAKOPI’s community-grown coffee, accompanied by traditional Indonesian snacks, were served to delegates and visitors at the Indonesia Pavilion. Visitors from various countries had the opportunity to experience its distinctive taste, with many expressing their appreciation for its rich and delightful flavor. Their warm responses made this moment even more meaningful, allowing a locally cultivated Indonesian product to be appreciated by an international audience.
Yet, beyond its aroma and flavor, every cup carries something much greater. It represents the hands that cultivate the land, the knowledge passed through communities, the livelihoods strengthened through sustainable practices, and the collective commitment to protecting the environment. What visitors experience as a cup of coffee is, in essence, a reflection of the connection between people, nature, and sustainability.
For YAKOPI, being part of COP31 is more than an opportunity to showcase a community-based product. It is a moment to demonstrate how grassroots initiatives can contribute to broader climate ambitions. By bringing agroforestry products into an international forum, YAKOPI seeks to highlight that empowered communities are essential partners in translating climate commitments into meaningful action on the ground.
This milestone would not have been possible without collaboration and shared support. YAKOPI extends its sincere appreciation to Cendekia Synergy for supporting and managing this initiative, helping bring the story of community-grown agroforestry coffee to the international stage.From the landscapes where the coffee is cultivated to the conversations taking place at COP31, this journey reminds us that meaningful climate action can begin with something as simple as planting a seed, nurturing the land, and creating opportunities for communities to thrive.
Because sustainability is not only about protecting what we have today. It is about creating opportunities for future generations to inherit healthier ecosystems, stronger communities, and a more resilient planet.rom community roots to global recognition, every cup carries a story of hope, resilience, and a shared commitment to a sustainable future.
One Dream, One Team, For Generations!
