Italy has become the first country to make sustainability and climate crisis lessons compulsory for all school children.
State schools will incorporate the UN’s 2030 agenda for sustainable development agenda into multiple subjects from next September.
Italy’s education minister Lorenzo Fioramonti announced lessons in geography, mathematics, and physics, will be taught from the perspective of sustainability.
“I want to make the Italian education system the first education system that puts the environment and society at the core of everything we learn in school,” Fioramonti said.
