AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoUN Map Vote: The UN General Assembly backed Togo’s “Correct the Map” resolution, urging wider use of equal-area projections like Equal Earth to better show the relative size of continents—especially Africa—over the centuries-old Mercator view. The vote was 164–1, with the U.S. the only no, and Serbia among six abstentions (Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Moldova, Ukraine). The resolution is non-binding and doesn’t ban Mercator, but it pushes governments, schools, media and tech platforms to consider Equal Earth when area accuracy matters. Serbia Angle: Serbia abstained, aligning with other states that signaled caution while the debate turns into a broader fight over representation and “cognitive justice.” Digital Safety Watch: UNICEF reported that 20 million children worldwide were exposed to online sexual abuse or exploitation in one year, with Europe and Central Asia (including Serbia) at the lowest regional rate (8%) among surveyed regions. Tech & Security: A new Panzer ransomware operation listed alleged victims in multiple countries including Serbia, combining data theft and file encryption. Space Tech: A China-led plan for a 3D cislunar satellite network to track solar activity and cosmic explosions includes Serbia among participating countries.
