If ever the world needed to agree on stopping plastic pollution, it’s now, supporters of a deal say. 
According to the UN Environment Programme, plastic production and waste is due to triple by 2060.
In Geneva, where international talks are underway this week for a legally binding deal to stop plastic pollution, campaigners are also having their say.
They include Shellen Saling, from California, who’s the interim chair of the Youth Plastic Action Network (YPAN). Achieving an ambitious treaty is critical today because plastic impacts everything from climate change to people’s health and much more besides, she explains.
