The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution aimed at correcting the representation of continents on the world map, with a focus on re-evaluating Africa’s portrayal, which has been historically inaccurate due to the use of the Mercator projection, making it appear much smaller than its actual size. Despite opposition from the United States, 164 countries voted in favor, and 6 countries abstained. The resolution encourages the adoption of equal-area maps for a more accurate representation of continental sizes. The goal of the resolution is to improve geographic accuracy in educational and media outlets to reflect Africa’s true size, which is about 14 times larger than Greenland, thereby restoring its geographical and political significance on the global map.
