The United Nations General Assembly has approved the 'Correct the Map' resolution. With support from 164 countries, such as India, the UK, and France, the body is now promoting the switch from the Mercator map to the Equal Earth projection. The Mercator style is criticized for misrepresenting the scale of Africa, making it appear comparable to Greenland despite Africa being 14 times larger. The United States was the only nation to oppose the measure.
