Italy plans mandatory climate change lessons for schools

All children in Italy will have to study climate change at school starting from next year, becoming the first country in the world where this will be compulsory.

Italy’s minister for education, Lorenzo Fioramonti, announced the decision on Wednesday.

The decision will apply to all state-run schools in Italy and will come into force from the start of the 2020 school year in September.

The lessons, which will also teach sustainable development, will be given to pupils from first grade through high school, from the ages of six to 19 years.
