@ICCCAD Very sad to hear of the passing of @SaleemulHuq ... well known to the friends of #ClimateBrawl. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange
@ICCCAD I offer my deepest condolences to family and friends of @SaleemulHuq bhai. He left me shellshocked! Saleem Bhai worked hard for raising awareness about climate risks & for adaptation & mitigation of climate risks across the globe. Rest in Peace, Saleem Bhai.
Shocked and saddened to learn of premature passing of longtime colleague @SaleemulHuq A veteran of every COP since the 1st, Saleem was among the first generation of climate campaigners & carried the institutional memory of the @UNFCCC process within him. Not content with talk his establishment of @ICCCAD built needed capacity within the region on adaptation & resilience. An authoritative & influential voice from South Asia, he leaves big shoes to fill & will be much missed. Condolences to his family & all @ICCCAD RIP Saleem 🙏🏼
@ICCCAD I am so deeply saddened and shocked. Saleem has been a driving force for climate justice since the beginning of the climate debate. His brilliant mind, ability to say what has to be said and dogged determination have been beacons for decades. I will miss him terribly.
@ICCCAD I'm so sorry to hear of Saleemul's passing. His work and his influence will continue through all those he has inspired and mentored throughout the years.
@ICCCAD My heartfelt condolences. Saleemul was a true pioneer in the realms of adaptation, equity, and justice. He will be greatly missed.

@ICCCAD Oh no, such a loss. Such a long time tireless advocate for loss and damage outcomes. So very sorry to hear this news.
@ICCCAD What a good man and what a loss to the world. With the passing of Saleemul Huq and Pete Betts in the same week, all I can think of is the responsibility we all have to carry on their legacy.
