UNGA passes map correction resolution
The United Nations General Assembly has adopted a resolution calling for a correction of the world's map and the adoption of more accurate models for representing the sizes of continents, especially Africa. The aim is to address historical biases that distort the proportions of regions far from the equator, contributing to the promotion of justice and development, particularly in Africa. The resolution urges the adoption and widespread use of equal-area projections, which allow for a more accurate representation of the actual sizes of continents. This initiative is led by Togo with the support of the African Union, seeking to address the impacts of cartographic distortions on cognitive, cultural, and geopolitical levels.
