164-1. The United States stands alone as the U.N. votes to back a new way of mapping the world. The General Assembly approves a resolution supporting the Equal Earth projection, which depicts continents in their true relative sizes and makes Africa appear significantly larger than on traditional Mercator maps. The U.S. casts the only “no” vote, with Deputy U.S. Representative Yaryna Ferencevych calling the effort part of a “radical ideological project.” Six countries abstain, including Ukraine. ▻
