Coffee Institute for Climate Action is a program that implements Climate Wave Coffee Solutions, a climate-action framework that identifies and offers practical solutions to social and environmental injustices occurring in the global coffee value chain. The program offers professional coffee skills training, develops business case for sustainability, crafts sustainability strategies for coffee professionals, and conducts sustainable coffee research.

Certified Climate Wave Coffee Program identifies coffees, around the world, that fit all the Climate Wave Basic solutions. In short, Certified Climate Wave Coffees are shade-grown, fairly traded, preserve water, and protect biodiversity. Because of which they are climate-positive coffees as well, and they help coffee forests capture 300g of greenhouse gases from the environment.

Climate-Positive Cafe Collective is the flagship program of Climate Wave Coffee. It aims to support coffee shops in British Columbia that serve climate-positive coffee by helping them reach a larger customer base, increase sales, and foster long-term relationships with their team members, customers, and suppliers.

Sustainable Coffee Passport is a web application that allows coffee enthusiasts to find standardized, easy-to-understand transparency details of different coffees, track emissions capture, share personal tasting notes of any coffee with fellow coffee enthusiasts worldwide and support coffee roasters' passion for the art of coffee crafting by purchasing their beans for home brewing.

Tip the Coffee Farmer is the main program that will enable Climate Wave Coffee to achieve its vision of transforming monoculture coffee farms into biodiversity-rich coffee forests. The program collects donations from coffee enthusiasts around the world to hire coffee farmers who specialize in natural farming practices. These farmers then assist monoculture farmers in transforming their land into coffee forests that capture and store carbon, create ecological balance, and reverse global warming.

Coffee People Connect is a series of interactive coffee events focused on climate action, hosted by various coffee professionals in British Columbia. The events aim to share knowledge about the art of sustainable coffee-making, inspire climate action, and foster connections among coffee people.
