NewzThe United Nations General Assembly voted on Friday to adopt a new world map designed to represent the size of Africa with greater geographical accuracy. The resolution, titled “Corregir el mapa” (Correcting the map), was formally sponsored by Togo and received the support of the African Union members.
The initiative seeks to replace the traditional world map, which has long been criticized for distorting the relative scale of continents. By adopting this new representation, the UN aims to provide a more precise visual depiction of Africa’s actual landmass in relation to the rest of the globe.
