It is with the deepest sadness that friends and colleagues of Professor Saleemul Huq OBE at the Global Development Institute, The University of Manchester mark his passing away on 28 October. Saleemul was an outstanding scientist (one of Nature's 'Top 20' global scientists in 2022) who committed his early academic training in Botany towards the understanding climate change and its consequences alongside promoting policies and actions to reduce the negative impacts of climate change. For those of us at Manchester who had the privilege of working with Saleemul he will be remembered for his intellect, gentle nature, personal humility and generosity – with his time, his ideas and his companionship, especially when sharing fine Bengali food with his many visitors.
