Chilekwa Mumba (born 1984/1985) is a Zambian community organizer and environmental activist.[1] He is known for having organized a successful lawsuit against UK-based mining company Vedanta Resources, owner of the subsidiary Konkola Copper Mines in Zambia's Copperbelt Province, in response to pollution and environmental damage.[2][3][4] It was the first time that an English court decided that a British company could be held responsible for environmental harm caused by its subsidiaries operating in another country.[5][6]

In 2023, Mumba became a recipient of the Goldman Environmental Prize.[7][8]
