Chilekwa Mumba's 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize Acceptance Speech

Chilekwa Mumba accepts the 2023 Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa
Alarmed by the pollution produced by the Konkola Copper Mines operation in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia, Chilekwa Mumba organized a lawsuit to hold the mine’s parent company, Vedanta Resources, responsible. Chilekwa’s victory in the UK Supreme Court set a legal precedent-it was the first time an English court ruled that a British company could be held liable for the environmental damage caused by subsidiary-run operations in another country. This precedent has since been applied to hold Shell Global-one of the world’s 10 largest corporations by revenue-liable for its pollution in Nigeria.
