联合国大会在9月初通过"纠正地图"决议，164个成员国投票支持用等面积投影地图替代麦卡托投影，仅美国投票反对1。这一决议标志着全球去殖民化运动的重要进展，旨在改变对非洲大陆的认知1。
非洲国家正通过多管齐下的方式推进去殖民化，重塑国际舆论中的非洲形象。马里将在2025年10月从学校课程中移除法国历史内容1。坦桑尼亚、加纳、纳米比亚、南非、肯尼亚等国也采取了类似的教育改革措施1。除教育外，非洲还通过媒体倡议挑战刻板印象并建立主体叙事1。根据Africa No Filter的报告，非洲因媒体刻板印象每年可能面临42亿美元的经济损失1。
The United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution in early September encouraging member states to adopt equal-area map projections in place of the 16th-century Mercator projection, with 164 countries voting in favor and only the United States opposing the measure 1. The initiative represents part of a broader global decolonization movement aimed at challenging long-standing distortions in how Africa is visually and culturally represented to the world 1.
Beyond cartography, African nations have launched complementary efforts to reshape perceptions through education and media initiatives 1. Mali announced plans to remove French history from school curricula beginning in October 2025, while Tanzania, Ghana, Namibia, South Africa, and Kenya have implemented similar educational reforms 1. These measures form part of a coordinated campaign to establish African-centered narratives and counter entrenched stereotypes 1. According to a report by Africa No Filter, media misrepresentations of the continent may cost Africa approximately $4.2 billion annually in economic losses 1. Togo's Foreign Minister Robert Dussey commented on the efforts, underscoring the significance of correcting colonial-era distortions that continue to influence global perceptions 1.
