United Nations votes 164-1 for Equal Earth map after US brands it 'radical ideological project'

The resolution backs equal-area maps over the Mercator projection, which makes Africa appear far smaller than it actually is

Six nations abstained, including Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, Serbia and Ukraine.

Yaryna Ferencevych, the deputy U.S. representative to the U.N. Economic and Social Council, said the resolution was presented as "an anodyne effort to update cartographic proportions" but was, in her view, part of a "much larger and more radical ideological project."
