They\u00a0have argued\u00a0that the time before the final summit in Busan, Korea, would be better spent focused\u00a0on topics\u00a0such as managing plastic waste.<br \/>\nChina\u2019s lead negotiator in Ottawa, Yang Xiaoling, said countries should be \u201cfocused on non-contentious subjects,\u201d such as redesigning plastic products so that they use less plastic or are more easily recyclable.<br \/>\nOn the last day of talks in Ottawa on Monday, countries split into working groups to focus on resolving details of the hoped-for treaty, including how the work should be financed.<br \/>\nIn announcing the plan for working groups to continue negotiating in coming months, the chair of the talks, Luis Vayas Valdivieso of Ecuador, did not say whether production limits would continue to be in discussion.<br \/>\nNo country has objected to the plan for intersessional working groups, unlike during the November negotiations in Nairobi when Saudi Arabia, representing a small group of countries dubbed the Like-Minded Group, blocked work on the draft treaty outside of the official summits.<br \/>\nAt earlier negotiations in Paris last year, Saudi Arabia and others spent a few days focused on arguing about rules of procedure guiding the talks, which delayed a discussion on content.<br \/>\nThousands of people registered to attend the Ottawa talks, including hundreds of\u00a0lobbyists\u00a0representing the fossil fuel and chemical industries.<br \/>\nOn Monday, some delegates said they were hopeful that negotiators can now move ahead move from position posturing to the work of negotiating the text of a treaty.<br \/>\n\u201cWe have already exhausted all of our arguments and now it is time to show good will and good faith and start negotiating the treaty,\u201d said Santos Virgilio, a negotiator for Angola. \u201cThis is now the time to sit down and to come up with solution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Countries
