Trust in the new world map faces doubts
The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution aimed at correcting the world map and restoring balance in cartographic representation, especially to depict Africa more fairly and accurately. This was achieved through the adoption of the "Equal Earth projection," which reflects the true sizes of continental landmasses rather than using the Mercator projection, which diminishes Africa's size and that of other regions. It is believed that this correction contributes to enhancing recognition, justice, and development, despite opposition from the United States, which considered the decision a political move driven by ideological motives.
