AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoUN Map Reform: The UN General Assembly backed an African-led push to replace the Mercator world map with the Equal Earth projection, voting 164-1 (with six abstentions) to better reflect Africa’s true scale—an issue that also makes Greenland look far smaller than it is on Mercator. Greenland Angle: The vote highlights how Greenland’s apparent size on older maps has long shaped public perception, even though Africa is about 14 times larger. US Pushback: The United States was the only country to vote against, calling the move an “ideological agenda” and a distraction from core international problems. EU-Greenland Diplomacy: EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is set to travel to Nuuk to deepen the EU-Greenland partnership, including a renewed joint declaration and a satellite connectivity launch. Arctic Security Context: Separate coverage underscores how NATO and Nordic cooperation frameworks are being reshaped after Russia’s Ukraine war, with Arctic collaboration increasingly tied to defence planning.
