AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUN World Map Update: The UN General Assembly backed the “Correct the Map” push, urging wider use of the Equal Earth projection so Africa appears closer to its real relative size—while North America and Europe look smaller. The vote was 164 in favour, with the US the only country voting against and six abstaining. Why it matters for Greenland readers: On the old Mercator map, Greenland can look almost as big as Africa, even though Africa is about 14 times larger—so the change is a big deal for how people learn geography and “see” the world. Diplomacy & friction: Washington called it ideological distraction, while Ukraine abstained over how occupied territory is portrayed. Arctic lifestyle angle: The story also circles back to Greenland’s place in global imagination—especially in education and media graphics that many of us grew up with.
