## In brief

- A coalition of small island states, African countries, the European Union and other G20 nations is pushing at COP31 in Antalya for an ocean roadmap.
- The roadmap would feed into the next global stocktake, a key review of climate policies in 2028.
- The group seeks to anchor stronger ocean mandates in that review, according to Climate Home News.

## Why it matters

The global stocktake shapes how countries assess and update climate commitments, so whether ocean issues are formally included affects how marine systems are weighed in future climate policy.
