My Tribute to Saleemul Huq 🙏

Saleem, your departure was far too soon. Our mission remains unfinished…

It's hard to grasp that you won’t be at COP28, especially when you've attended all 27 preceding COPs.

Just yesterday, as I virtually attended the Loss & Damage session in Bangladesh – a session you missed due to illness – none of us could have imagined the heart-wrenching news that was soon to follow.

Throughout the years, you have inspired countless individuals. Your pioneering global voice on adaptation, along with your unwavering advocacy for loss and damage finance, are just a few of the many accomplishments that will forever be etched in our memories.

Your steadfast dedication to those impacted by climate change, even until your last breath, coupled with your advocacy for the poorest and most vulnerable, has crafted a legacy that stands unparalleled and inspiring.

Your genuine humility, unwavering responsiveness, and being so accessible, touched many, including me, at profound levels.

I cherish the camaraderie we shared, evident in your fondness for my colourful outfits and the countless selfies we took together. Those images, especially our last one from Bonn this June, will be treasured forever.

Your life, Saleem, serves as an enduring beacon of inspiration for both present and future generations.

Together, we fought for the establishment of the Loss and Damage Fund. The battle for climate justice remains ongoing.

I pledge to redouble my efforts, to uphold the torch, and to champion the cause with even more passion and hard work. I'll do this in honour of your legacy, feeling your guidance and blessings from the heavens above.

Forever your admirer and comrade…

Harjeet

The new @climateactiontr assessment shows there is not much sign of the COP28 president stepping up on real ambition and action as opposed to stepping up on fossil fuel production. Its $54bn in renewables investment is swamped by $150bn for gas and oil.

Every day this week has set a record for the hottest day ever. The previous record was set in August 2016, which is also the hottest year ever. Say welcome to the hottest year (so far) of our lives.

‘Too many want to be the hero that boasts about how well their country is doing relative to the other Caribbean countries, but too few want to be the leader who puts in the hard work to cause the required energy transformation to happen. We need more leaders and fewer heroes’

@CamilloOriginal EU is saying it’s prepared to walk away from the negotiating table. We who have so much more at stake should have made that position clear from Day 1. No more compromises. No more accepting weak decisions.

For half that time a farmer in Assam planted one tree every day and transformed a chopped down barren land in Majuli Island to a wildlife paradise. A true hero!
