Descripción: Abstract: Climate change could have a negative impact on global coffee production. In Colombia, the current climate variability impacted coffee activity negatively in 2010-2011. Thus, the adaptation measures implemented by coffee growers will be crucial to assure the future of coffee production. This study pursues to identify which are the factors that encourage coffee growers to implement adaptation strategies to climate change. The vulnerability approach is used to analyse the growers´ adaptation prospects to climate variability, this approach encompasses three components: exposure, adaptive capacity, and sensitivity. This analysis focuses on the adaptive capacity and how it can be improved. The research relies on the critical analysis of secondary information, mainly from the National Agricultural Census 2014. Some important findings were revealed; factors such as ethnicity, level of education, literacy, associativity, access to credit, size of the farm, living conditions, and land tenure, are decisive for implementing adaptation strategies. Thus, the analysis performed in this document could be an alternative for policymakers to design programs and policies that consider growers´ characteristics to reduce their vulnerability to climate change.
