We present a special mid-week episode of SmarterMarkets™, bringing you exclusive interviews from FIA Boca 2024.
During this March’s FIA Boca conference in Boca Raton, Florida, we partnered with the FIA to interview a wide-range of futures industry participants. SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sat down with these guests to ask them how they see their role in the markets and to hear their views on the important developments and big issues being discussed at Boca this year. David also asked them about what they see as the big challenges and opportunities for the futures industry – and what we need to be doing to meet those challenges and seize those opportunities.

This week, we kick off our new series, Carbon Frontiers 2024. Throughout this series, we’ll be talking with the market practitioners who’ve kept the carbon markets and decarbonization efforts moving forward to better understand how they’re learning from the mistakes of the past, adapting to the realities of the present, and developing the markets, technologies, and strategies for a net-zero future.
We begin our series with Sandeep Roy Choudhury, Director of VNV Advisory Services. SmarterMarkets™ host David Greely sits down with Sandeep to discuss the impact of the intense media criticism last year on carbon emissions projects and how he’s working to continue to use carbon financing to fund and develop carbon mitigation and adaptation projects.
