Dozens of students packed onto a boat docked in a flood-prone area of Bangladesh listen closely to a lesson highlighting the natural life of the rivers around them.

It is a normal day on a school boat project that aims to keep students in classes during monsoon season — and teach them about a changing climate in a country facing increasingly devastating floods fueled by global warming.

The project is at the vanguard of a global movement pushing for schools to teach children about the impact of a rapidly warming world, with countries from Italy to New Zealand also putting climate change onto the curriculum.
