Evidence
“The U.N. General Assembly’s resolution, approved on Sept. 4 by a vote of 164 to 1 with six abstentions, put the U.N.’s imprimatur on an African proposal to swap out the commonly used but outdated Mercator projection with the Equal Earth map, which represents more accurately the relative sizes of the countries and continents.”
