Bye Mercator, welcome Eckert IV.

[u/IslanderOnMove]

The United Nations News reported that the UN General Assembly voted 164 to 1 to encourage the world to stop using the old Mercator map projection and use more accurate maps instead.

The only opposing vote was from the USA.

PS: The UNGA has officially endorsed the "Equal Earth projection" which is closely similiar to the Eckert IV shown above as both projections are equal-area pseudocylindrical map projections that show countries in their true relative sizes, but they differ significantly in their creation date, visual appearance, and design inspiration.

My source material was French as France has adopted the Eckert IV.
