OBITUARIES




 

We commemorate and celebrate the lives of alumni and friends of the University who are no longer with us.

If you would like to submit an obituary for an alumnus or former member of staff for inclusion please email alumni@northumbria.ac.uk.

  • Professor Saleemul Huq OBE, Hon DSc
    Director of the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in Bangladesh, and a Professor at the Independent University of Bangladesh, Saleemul was a vocal champion of climate justice for the global South. He contributed to several Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports and was one of the few people to have attended all of the UN climate change conferences. Professor Huq was awarded an honorary degree by Northumbria in 2022, in recognition of his contribution to climate science and campaigning for climate justice. We extend our condolences to his family and all who worked with him. The International Institute for Environment and Development has set up an online book of remembrance for colleagues and friends to share memories and condolences.
