The UN environment chief said Sunday she was beginning to see convergence on the world's first binding treaty on plastic pollution despite differences on production caps and a tax-like plastic fee.

Inger Andersen, director of the UN Environment Program, said her team was "getting ready" for final negotiations in late November in South Korea's Busan.
