This week Diana is joined by Richard Kakunga Wambua, a Pan-African Innovator and a Climate Diplomat. He serves as the Chairperson of the Young Diplomats of Kenya (YDK), where he has led teams to partner with International Organizations and Foreign Missions to advocate for youth inclusion and empowerment within the international affairs arena.
Among his numerable global recognitions, Richard is known for his contribution towards SDG 13 (Climate action), he was nominated to be a 2020 UNEP Young Champion of the Earth regional finalist for Africa. This is UNEP’s leading initiative to engage youth in tackling the world’s most pressing environmental challenges.
The DWD podcast engages Richard as a young diplomat to debunk diplomacy and the myths around surrounding foreign aid & policies. We ask what he has observed on big-stick diplomacy, dollar diplomacy and moral diplomacy when engaging with the diplomatic communities & missions.
