Various environmental education initiatives have launched in Italy to promote sustainability and the circular economy within schools.

The Green Game has commenced its 14th edition, a free program supported by several national recycling consortia. This initiative utilizes both in-person tours, such as in Tuscany, and digital schedules to teach high school students about waste sorting and the circular economy, aiming to align with 2030 Agenda sustainability goals.

Simultaneously, the Green School program has begun its 2026-2027 academic year with events in Varese and Legnano. Building on previous years where hundreds of Italian schools received certification, the program focuses on practical projects involving energy savings, waste reduction, water conservation, and biodiversity protection through community partnerships.
