Sample cover letter for Internship position at United Nations
Analyst
Last year’s United Nation’s Climate Summit saw a high point in the optimism surrounding the Green Bond market, as many world leaders encouraged the private sector to invest heavily in green bonds. However, such optimism has been short lived as many issuers have pulled back due the perceived difficulties of issuing green bonds and the lack of financial reward from the extra work. This has resulted in a slowdown in the rise of the Green Bond market. According to experts, on the current trajectories of the greenhouse gas concentration, Earth is on course for a global warming of six degrees Celsius. With climate change arguably becoming the greatest global issue, I was intrigued by the potential and importance of the Green Bond market in the combat against climate change. It relates to J.P. Morgan as it has served on the committee that developed the Green Bond Principles in 2014, and was the top underwriter of green bonds for the first quarter of 2015 and is a key figure in the Green Bond market. With a strong global reputation, the support it gives to the market is essential for further growth and to restore issuer’s confidence.
