The United Nations General Assembly has voted to adopt a new world map designed to adjust the relative sizes of continental landmasses. The resolution, which was spearheaded by a coalition of African nations, results in a visual representation where Africa appears larger, while North America and Europe are depicted as smaller than in previous iterations.
The initiative is framed by its proponents as a move toward achieving a more accurate representation of global geography. The resolution was formally backed by the General Assembly on Friday.
