Comprehensive Climate Analysis for Nevada

Overview

This process is a detailed examination of opportunities for emission reduction in the State. It will provide governments, businesses, non-profits, and residents with a key resource for making informed decisions about climate actions that may be helpful for them and their communities. The analysis will demonstrate the emission reduction potential and co-benefits of climate measures (i.e. increased economic development and job creation, air pollutant reduction, expanded energy independence advancing state and national security, etc.) as well as suggest measures that could be implemented for achieving these benefits.

Draft CCAN

The Draft CCAN will be fully available on Monday, September 8th. Please find meeting and public comment details below Engagement, our public announcement page, or this shareable flyer.

CCAN Process

Engagement

Input from interested parties and the community will help ensure the analysis asks the right questions and explores helpful assumptions about future emissions scenarios. Direct outreach included interviews and a focus group on community benefits among non-profit service organizations.

A Technical Working Group (TWG) has been invited to provide input on the analysis. It includes organizations that have subject matter expertise, a role related to environmental and sustainability topics, and commitment to benefits for the people and environment of Nevada. The TWG provides feedback and comments at key points in the technical analysis to support the development of the CCAN.

CCAN Feedback Meetings

Three regional meetings will be held in a mix of online and hybrid options in Reno in September 2025. These meetings are welcome to the general public and will introduce the climate analysis findings and engagement process.  

Public comment will be open from September 8 to October 10.

Comments can be submitted directly to the email found below, given during the meetings, or submitted through this Google Form where all responses will be sent to the CPRG Team. 
You can find meeting details and registration links below, on our public announcement page, and on this shareable flyer.
