Honoring the memory of Prof. Saleemul Huq’s

On May 21, 2024, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, bestowed the First Class Order of Zayed II on Prof. Saleemul Huq’s family-his wife Kashana Huq, his son Saqib Huq and daughter Sadaf Huq. The late Prof. Saleemul Huq, an advisor to the COP28 Presidency and a key member of the COP28 Advisory Committee, passed away in October before COP28.
Although he did not live to see his work come to fruition, he will always be remembered as a beacon of hope to the world in his championed efforts for Loss and Damage Fund. The operationalization of the Loss and Damage Fund stands as a lasting legacy of his dedication and efforts, which we will continue to carry forward.

You don’t need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfection.

I suppose I could spend time theorizing how it is that people are not bad to each other, but that's really not the point. The point is that in almost every instance of our lives, our social lives, we are, if we pay attention, in the midst of an almost constant, if subtle, caretaking. Holding open doors. Offering elbows at crosswalks. Letting someone else go first. Helping with the heavy bags. Reaching what's too high, or what's been dropped. Pulling someone back to their feet. Stopping at the car wreck, at the struck dog. The alternating merge, also known as the zipper. This caretaking is our default mode and it's always a lie that convinces us to act or believe otherwise. Always. - Ross Gay
