UN Adopts Resolution to Promote Accurate World Maps, India Supports Neutral Approach
The United Nations General Assembly adopted the 'Correct the Map' resolution with 164 countries supporting a shift from the 16th-century Mercator projection to more accurate equal-area map projections like the 2018 Equal Earth design. The resolution aims to correct distortions that minimize the size of Africa, Latin America, and South Asia, promoting equitable geographic representation. India voted in favor, emphasizing technological neutrality and clarifying that the resolution does not endorse any specific map projection. The United States was the sole opposing vote, while six countries abstained.
