Equal Earth World Wall Map – French

Equal Earth World Wall Map, a world map for everyone.

The Equal Earth Wall Map is for schools, organizations, or anyone who needs a map showing countries and continents at their actual size in relation to each other. Africa appears 14 times larger than Greenland as it actually is. And wherever you live, the card has you covered.

Equal Earth projection

The Equal Earth map projection is a new equal-area pseudocylindrical projection for world maps jointly developed by Bojan Šavrič (Esri), Tom Patterson (US National Park Service), and Bernhard Jenny (Monash University). It was created to provide a visually pleasing alternative to the Gall-Peters projection, which some schools and socially concerned groups have adopted out of concern for fairness. Their priority is to show developing countries in the tropics and developed countries in the north with correctly proportioned sizes.

In addition to being rigorously equal-area throughout, other Equal Earth projection features include:

• An overall shape similar to that of the Robinson projection. (The Robinson, although popular and pleasing to the eye, is not equal-area as is the Equal Earth projection).
• The curved sides of the projection suggest the spherical form of Earth.
• Straight parallels that make it easier to compare how far north or south places are from the equator.
