UN votes in favor of map change to equal earth model
The UN General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to endorse a new world map using the "Equal Earth" projection to replace the centuries-old Mercator map. The non-binding resolution aims to fix severe geographic distortions—showing landmasses like Africa and Greenland in their true relative size. Michael J. Gilbrook, UCF Associate Lecturer in Environmental Studies, joined FOX 35's Garrett Wymer live over Zoom to break down what this means, and why the decision was made.
