Sunita Narain is an Indian environmentalist and political activist as well as a major proponent of the Green concept of sustainable development.[1] Narain is director general of the India-based research institute the Centre for Science and Environment, director of the Society for Environmental Communications, and editor of the fortnightly magazine, Down To Earth.

In 2016 she was named to Time Magazine's list of 100 Most Influential People.[2]

Activities

Narain began working with the Centre for Science and Environment in 1982, working with the founder Anil Agarwal, while completing her studies at the University of Delhi. In 1985 she co-edited the State of India's Environment report, and then went on to study issues related to forest management. For this project, she traveled across the country to understand people's management of natural resources. In 1989 Narain and Anil Agarwal wrote 'Towards Green Villages' on the subject of local democracy and sustainable development. In her years at the Centre, she has studied the relationship between environment and development and worked to create public consciousness about the need for sustainable development. In 2012, she wrote the 7th State of India’s Environment Reports, Excreta Matters, an analysis of urban India's water supply and pollution.

Over the years, Narain has also developed the management and financial support systems needed for the Centre, which has over 100 staff members and a dynamic program profile. In the early 1990s, she got involved with global environmental issues and she continues to work on these as researcher and advocate. Her research interests are wide-ranging - from global democracy, with a special focus on climate change, to the need for local democracy, within which she has worked both on forest-related resource management and water-related issues. Narain remains an active participant, both nationally and internationally, in civil society.[3] She is currently in charge of the Centre's management and plays an active role in a number of research projects and public campaigns.[3]

She serves on the boards of various organizations and on governmental committees and has spoken at many forums across the world on issues of her concern and expertise. In 2008 Narain delivered the K R Narayanan Oration[3] on "Why Environmentalism Needs Equity: Learning from the environmentalism of the poor to build our common future".[4]

2013 Cycling Accident

Her bicycle was hit by a speeding car in the early hours of the day while she was going to Lodhi Gardens from her house in Green Park. The car driver did not stop and she was rushed to AIIMS by a passerby. She suffered facial injuries and orthopaedic injuries.[5]
