The international television channel, France 24, invited one of our experts, Gonzalo Collado De Giovannini, to present his perspective on the resolution adopted last Friday, September 4, by the United Nations General Assembly to promote the use of Equal Earth mapping in schools, governments and international organizations.

It should also be noted that, in accordance with the UN resolution, the map Equal Earth shows a more realistic view of the size of countries, which has generated international academic attention and interest in information.

In this context, Collado De Giovanni, as a member of the Expert Analytical Association “Sovereignty”, contributed his vision, consisting of, among other considerations, questioning the distorting functionality of the world’s geographical reality presented by some cartographies, the negative geopolitical instrumentalization that Mercator was given over time and also informing that, for example, in China a different cartography is used than the one that predominates in the Western Hemisphere.

In this way, Collado De Giovannini, who is also an expert in international security and world geography, together with Association “Sovereignty” were sources of consultation for the France 24 television report
