Adunarea Generală a ONU a votat schimbarea hărții lumii

The UN General Assembly voted to replace the traditional world map with one that accurately reflects Africa's size. The resolution, initiated by Togo and supported by 164 countries, aims to correct the distortions of the Mercator projection. Critics argue that the Mercator map minimizes Africa's significance and development needs. The new 'Equal Earth' projection, adopted by the African Union, presents a more accurate representation of continents. The U.S. opposed the resolution, claiming it distracts from more pressing global issues. Advocates emphasize that correcting the map is a step towards a fairer representation of Africa's resources and potential.
