April 28, 2021 12:00:00


Dr Saleemul Huq, Director of International Centre for Climate Change and Development (ICCCAD) and Professor of the Independent University Bangladesh (IUB) has been ranked 208th in Reuters Hot List that identified and ranked the world's most influential climate scientists, says a statement.

Dr Huq is the only Bangladeshi scientist to achieve this pride on Earth Day, April 20, 2021.

The ranking recognises Dr Huq's and IUB's ongoing efforts to propel Bangladesh as a crucial contributor to global knowledge on climate change.

The Reuters Hot List identifies world's 1000 most influential scientists which is a combination of three rankings. Those rankings are based on how many research papers scientists have published on topics related to climate change; how often those papers are cited by other scientists in similar fields of study, such as biology, chemistry or physics; and how often those papers are referenced in the lay press, social media, policy papers and other outlets.
