Se schimbă harta lumii. Decizie istorică la ONU - Economica.net

The UN is set to vote on a resolution initiated by Togo to adopt a new world map that accurately represents Africa's size. Currently, the Mercator projection misrepresents Africa as being similar in size to Greenland, despite it being 14 times larger. The resolution aims to replace the traditional map with one that reflects the true dimensions of countries. The vote, supported by Togo and other African nations, emphasizes the scientific basis for this change. While UN resolutions are not binding, a favorable vote could lead to updates in educational programs and technology that rely on the Mercator projection.
