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 is fully available below and public comments will be accepted through October 10. Please find meeting recordings and public comment details under Engagement.

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. Please see the slide decks for each of these meetings below.
Three regional meetings were held in a mix of online and hybrid options in Reno in September 2025. These meetings were welcome to the general public and introduced the climate analysis findings and engagement process. Please see a recording of the presentation below.
