Negotiators are advancing talks to draft a plastic pollution treaty that would target the production of plastic or stricter controls on waste management.
Kenya's President William Ruto kicked off the talks on Monday in Nairobi with a call to address "an existential threat to life, human and otherwise, on Earth." The U.N. Environment Program's Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee, which is developing the treaty, is hosting five weeklong negotiating sessions.
