The United States was the sole country to reject a UN General Assembly draft resolution supporting the Equal Earth projection, while 164 countries backed it. Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Serbia, Lithuania and Estonia abstained. The US envoy argued that the initiative was ideological rather than a neutral effort to correct cartographic distortions and distracted the UN from peace and prosperity issues.
