Talks last year in South Korea were supposed to be the final round, but they adjourned in December at an impasse over cutting production. Every year, the world makes more than 400 million tons of new plastic, and that could grow by about 70% by 2040 without policy changes.

U.N. negotiators have 10 days to craft a global plastic treaty. Environmental advocates say reaching an agreement to cap production is key, but industry and petrostates are pushing back.

Nations gather in Geneva to again confront the world’s spiraling plastic pollution crisis. Nations kicked off a meeting on Tuesday to try to complete a landmark treaty aimed at ending the plastic pollution crisis that affects every ecosystem and person on the planet.
