The UN has voted to adopt a new world map that shows Africa’s accurate size. For more than 450 years, the world's most common map projection, the Mercator projection, developed in 1569 by the Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator, showed Africa much smaller than it really is. The Mercator map was designed to help sailors navigate the seas, using straight lines that made it easier to plot a ship's course. To do so the map stretches out land the closer it gets to the North and South poles, which makes countries like the US, Russia and China look bigger than they are, while land near the equator, like Africa and South America, gets squeezed down. On a Mercator map, Greenland looks almost the same size as Africa, while, in reality, Africa is about 14 times larger and is big enough to fit the US, China, India and most of Europe inside it, with room to spare. Groups including Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa launched a
The UN has voted to adopt a new world map that shows Africa’s accurate size. For more than 450 years, the world's most common map projection, the Mercator projection, developed in 1569 by the Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator, showed Africa much smaller than it really is. The Mercator map was designed to help sailors navigate the seas, using straight lines that made it easier to plot a ship's course. To do so the map stretches out land the closer it gets to the North and South poles, which makes countries like the US, Russia and China look bigger than they are, while land near the equator, like Africa and South America, gets squeezed down. On a Mercator map, Greenland looks almost the same size as Africa, while, in reality, Africa is about 14 times larger and is big enough to fit the US, China, India and most of Europe inside it, with room to spare. Groups including Africa No Filter and Speak Up Africa launched a "Correct the Map" campaign, pushing schools, media outlets and international bodies to switch to a fairer alternative such as the Equal Earth projection. Equal Earth was created in 2018 specifically to preserve the true relative size of continents while still keeping their shapes recognizable. Under Equal Earth, Africa, Latin America, South Asia and Oceania all appear larger and more accurate than they do on a Mercator map. The campaign's request eventually reached the African Union, which endorsed it, and Togo took the lead in bringing it to the UN General Assembly (UNGA). On Friday, Sept. 4, the UNGA voted on a resolution called "Correct the Map," which calls the Equal Earth projection a more accurate way to represent the world's continents. 164 countries voted in favor, with the US the only country to vote against it and six countries abstaining. Togo's foreign minister Robert Dussey said that a fair world begins with a fair map, adding that maps shape how people learn, imagine and understand the world around them. The resolution is not legally binding; it simply encourages adopting Equal Earth or similar maps going forward. #un #map #world #africa #fyp
