In the quiet stillness that follows, we mourn the loss of a true beacon of hope. Dr. Saleemul Huq, a tireless champion for our fragile planet and a eminent climate expert, has left us, leaving a void that can never be filled. His dedication to the cause of preserving our environment and the right of climate vulnerable communities were a shining example to us all.

As we reflect on Dr. Saleemul Huq’s legacy, we are reminded of the countless lives he touched, the battles he fought, and the passion he brought to every endeavor. His words ignited flames of awareness, their actions inspired change, and their unwavering belief in a better, more sustainable world gave us all reason to press on.

It is a cruel irony that a soul so committed to healing the Earth should be absent from it. We are left with aching hearts and a profound sense of loss as we lost a mentor in Bangladesh’s fight against Climate Change.

In our collective grief, the Christian Commission for Development in Bangladesh (CCDB) honors Dr Saleemul Huq’s memory by carrying his torch forward. CCDB acknowledges and is grateful for the role played by Dr Saleemul Huq as a friend and a member of the advisory body of the CCDB Climate Centre.

May Dr. Saleemul Huq’s soul find solace in the knowledge that his life’s work touched the hearts of many and that his indomitable spirit will forever guide us towards a greener, more sustainable future.

Our deepest condolences to the family of the departed.

With Regards,

Juliate Keya Malakar
