Italy To Become First Country To Require Climate Change Education

Italy's education minister announced that public schools will require students to study climate change and environmental sustainability for at least 33 hours a year. This curriculum will be integrated into existing subjects like math and geography, making Italy the first country to mandate such education. The new requirements will start in September, aiming to prioritize the environment and society in education. Despite facing criticism, the announcement coincides with the US withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord and a global declaration of a climate emergency.
