More than 50 nations are taking action to reduce plastic pollution, says the UN in the biggest report so far.
India will eliminate all single-use plastic in the country by 2022, with an immediate ban in urban Delhi.
The pledge from a nation of 1.3 billion people is the most ambitious of the global plans against plastic pollution.
The UN report also reveals that the Galapagos will ban single-use plastics, Sri Lanka will ban styrofoam and China is insisting on biodegradable bags.
