Lorenzo Fioramonti, Italy’s education minister, has created a policy whereby sustainability and the climate crisis will become central to all subjects in school—making Italy the first country to do so. One hour per week will be dedicated solely to the impact of humans on the Earth, and even subjects such as mathematics and physics will be taught from the perspective of sustainability. Fioramonti is a vocal supporter of green policies in a far-right government—so significant barriers generally have to be overcome before policies like these can flourish. The success of the new school program is yet to be seen, as the programme will be implemented in the 2020 school year.
