The Impact Podcast

This week on The Impact Podcast, host Richard Zimba sits down with Children's and climate advocate Thomas Daka to break down the UNICEF Zambia CLAC (Climate Landscape Analysis on Children) Report. Together, they explore how the climate crisis is affecting children across Zambia, from access to education and healthcare, to displacement and food security. Thomas brings expert insight into the report's findings, while Richard unpacks what this means for local communities and why child-sensitive climate policies are more urgent than ever. Tune in for a powerful conversation on data, impact, and the future of Zambia's youngest citizens.

This special episode breaks down the Children’s Rights and Business Principles (CRBPs), what they are, why they were created, and how they apply to businesses of every size, from large companies to small-scale market stalls. With a focus on the Zambian context, the discussion highlights practical examples of how businesses can respect and support children’s rights. A clear, brief, and advocacy-centered guide for anyone working at the intersection of children’s rights and business.

Richard Zimba guides listeners on how to find their voice and take the first steps toward meaningful change. Whether you’re new to advocacy or ready to amplify your message, this episode offers simple, powerful advice to help you speak up and lead.
