My guest is Zambian-born environmentalist Dr Musonda Mumba. Her environmental career – spans over 20 years. She has been at UNEP for 10 years and was  the head of the agency’s Terrestrial Ecosystems Team until Feb this year when she moved to the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP as Director of the Rome Centre for Sustainable Development. Dr Musonda Mumba is the founder of Network of African Women Environmentalists (NAWE). She is part of the WE Three Queens on YouTube and Listening to Earth Group. She is passionate about this planet we inhabit.
