Harjeet Singh

Harjeet Singh is a prominent Indian environmental activist and co-founder of Satat Sampada (Nature Forever), along with his wife, Jyoti Awasthi. He is currently newsworthy due to a recent raid on his home by Indian police. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) claims Singh and Awasthi received approximately £500,000 to advocate for a treaty to cut the use of fossil fuels, alleging this campaigning undermines the national interest. This raid occurs amidst broader concerns raised by climate activists regarding the impact of military activities and fossil fuel dependence on the global energy transition, particularly in light of ongoing conflicts. Singh's work and the subsequent investigation highlight the tensions between environmental advocacy, national interests, and the global push for climate action.
