A grassroots learning partnership
between school boards and colleges.
Climate Change LeadersTM (CCL) is a grassroots learning partnership between Mohawk College and ten participating local school boards, including 290,000 students in approximately 690 schools. It encourages young people to reduce carbon emissions in their schools by 18 to 20 per cent by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement on Climate Change targets on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario will contribute research and validation in sustainability and other technologies that contribute to improving learning outcomes, micro-credits in Climate Change and related topics for students, teachers and staff. See school board partners for CCL in Our Partners section.

On February 11, 2020 Mohawk and the following school districts signed an MoU with the following principles:
1. Learning – building capacity and capability in clean technology and a low carbon community with new co-ops, specialized high skills majors, dual credits, research and engagement
2. Carbon reduction – reducing carbon in our buildings and communities linking technology transformation with an education plan to facilitate an exceptional student experience
3. Capital investment – being fiscally responsible stewards: develop demonstration projects using energy saved and energy made
