Niki is joined by Amandeep Kaur Maan, Founder of EcoSikh UK and Mumin Islam, a water industry leader with a passion for water demand management, equity, diversity and environmental and social justice to explore the relationship between faith, culture and our environment.

Both guests have worked on the delivery of a groundbreaking project with Cambridge Central Mosque - the first 'eco Mosque' in the UK - and the conversation covers:

• The opportunities for conversations about environmental sustainability and water demand management through the lenses of faith and culture.
• Where Mumin and Amandeep see organisations that are getting this right - and what we can learn from these experiences.
• What needs to be in place to enable stronger relationships that deliver meaningful change for our environment.

New York City is the most densely populated city in the USA and, famously the "concrete jungle" of all those famous movies and TV shows. Surrounded by water on 3 sides, with little space for nature and with old infrastructure... how will the Big Apple cope with rising sea levels, pressure on water quality and very little room for nature.

Vincent worked on high profile projects like Hunter's Point and Little Island - pairing beautiful design with futureproof sustainability functions. Sarah was involved in a decades long project to lower the levels of nutrients in the water surrounding Manhattan. Both native New Yorkers, what are their professional and personal takes on how New York is doing? Are there lessons for other cities around the world?
