*** HANDOUT *** This handout graphic provided by Equal Earth shows the Equal Earth cartographic projection. The United Nations General Assembly voted on September 4, 2026, to back a resolution spearheaded by several African countries to adopt a map that makes their continent bigger while shrinking North America and Europe. Aimed at "a more accurate representation" of continental landmasses, the resolution was supported by 164 countries while the United States voted against it and six other states abstained. The new map -- known as the Equal Earth cartographic projection -- "is a relevant option for improving the accuracy of the cartographic representation of the world," the resolution said.
