A recent development at the UN General Assembly has sparked discussion about map representations. The assembly adopted a resolution to promote the use of the Equal Earth map, which is said to more accurately depict the sizes of territories. This decision was made after a group of African countries proposed the change. The resolution was passed with a significant majority, with 164 votes in favor, one against, and six abstentions.
