The Global Coffee Platform (GCP), which was formed out of a restructure of the 4C Association and the Sustainable Coffee Program, will hold its first Members Assembly in Geneva on 5 October. The event is intended to showcase the GCP as a hub for sharing, learning and collaboration to collectively achieve a sustainable coffee world. Under the theme Accelerating Meaningful Change Together, the Membership Assembly provides an unrivalled networking opportunity to meet coffee leaders from all corners of the world and to learn the very latest on the coffee sector’s journey towards sector-wide alignment and collective impact. The day-long event convenes producer organizations, international coffee companies, government representatives, civil society organizations and donor agencies to discuss and cooperate on identified work-streams and country work-plans so that they can walk away with actionable next steps. This is the very first Membership Assembly of the Global Coffee Platform since its launch at the beginning of the year. It is therefore the first chance for members and partners alike to witness first-hand the progress that has been made in building the strategy, structures, and collaborations that will enable us as a collective alliance to achieve a thriving, sustainable coffee sector.
