When I went to Bangladesh, so many people told me the person I needed to talk to most, to understand the BOTH/AND dynamic of Bangladesh… how it’s both one of the most climate vulnerable countries and a success story of resilience… was Salameel Huq. He’s a scientist and communicator who’s been banging that drum for years.
Unfortunately, I didn’t quite get that interview arranged, but I did score an audio clip that I used in what might be my favorite video I’ve made thus far. (Bangladesh two-parter, ICYMI!) I also ended up talking to a bunch of people influenced by his work.
Sad to have heard about his passing earlier in the winter. Rest in peace and thank you for all you’ve gifted to Bangladesh and our planet.
