@ugdiplomat: The United Nations General Assembly has backed an African-led campaign to change how the world is represented on maps, approving a resolution calling for greater use of map projections that more accurately reflect the true size of continents, particularly Africa. The resolution, “Correct the Map: Rebalancing Global Cartographic Representation and Promoting Equitable Representation of the World’s Regions, Particularly Africa,” was sponsored by Togo on behalf of the African Group. www.ugdiplomat.com
