Sustainability Action Across Nevada

In addition to state-led plans and initiatives, multiple cities and counties across Nevada have been developing and implementing sustainability plans, climate plans, and other sustainability initiatives. Below is a list of such efforts:

Clark County Sustainability & Climate Action Plan

In February 2021, Clark County adopted its first-ever Sustainability and Climate Action Plan. As a comprehensive roadmap, this plan focuses on increasing the sustainability of the County’s internal operations and represents the first step in what will be a multi-phased, multi-year effort.

Nevada 2020 Climate Strategy

The overarching goals of the 2020 Climate Strategy are to 1) provide a framework for reducing Nevada’s greenhouse gas emissions across all economic sectors, 2) lay the groundwork for climate adaptation and resilience, and 3) establish a structure for continued, ongoing climate action across the state. 

Nevada Sustainable Materials Management Plan

The Nevada Sustainable Materials Management Plan's broad vision involves rethinking the landfill as the “go-to” end-of-life management option for products and materials. Instead, as its name suggests, this Plan promotes a sustainable materials management (SMM) approach as the more environmentally sound way to reduce and manage waste streams. SMM is a systemic approach that seeks to use and reuse materials and products more productively over their entire lifecycles from extraction to disposal.

Las Vegas 2050 Master Plan
