Congratulations to Dr Roxy Mathew Koll @RockSea, Non-Resident Fellow at CEEW, on winning the American Geophysical Union @theAGU's 2026 Climate Communications Prize—among the world's foremost recognitions for carrying climate science into public life. A climate scientist at @iitmpune, Roxy has helped document how a warming Indian Ocean is reshaping our monsoons, marine heatwaves, cyclones and extreme rainfall—and what those shifts mean for lives and livelihoods across South Asia. His work reaches well beyond the journal: regional-language newsrooms, classrooms, policy rooms and community early-warning efforts, much of it rooted in the Global South, where the risks are immediate but access to science is not. As Roxy puts it: "If our research does not reach people, policies, and communities in a form they can understand and use, we have left the work unfinished." This is a moment for climate communication from the Global South, and we are proud to count Roxy among our fellows. He will be honoured at AGU26 in San Francisco this December.
