Teaching children about sustainability is “certainly very important” said Edoardo Zanchini, vice president of Legambiente, Italy’s leading environmental group. Starting in September 2020, he said, teachers in every grade will lead lessons in climate change and environmental sustainability. That 33-hour-a-year lesson, he said, will be used as a pilot program to ultimately fold the climate agenda of the United Nations into the entire curriculum. One cold spring day in Milan, Salvini, then the interior minister, appeared to trivialize climate change. Fioramanti said a law passed last year, when 5-Star was still aligned with the League, gave him the authority to introduce lessons on climate change.
