Mulumba works at the interface of sustainability science, policy, and private sector practice, focusing on how environmental governance and market systems can deliver real outcomes for biodiversity and climate. His work centres on environmental impact assessment, climate finance, and the integration of ecosystem services into business models and investment strategies.

He has experience working with governments and companies across Africa and Europe He has advised on restoration, agroforestry, carbon markets, and compliance with emerging sustainability regulations. He has led large programs that connect smallholder systems to global financing flows, while strengthening how institutions implement and monitor environmental interventions.
