On November 22, 2019, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak (D) signed an executive order requiring state agencies to create plans for reducing greenhouse gas emissions across various sectors of the economy. State agencies will need to submit a climate strategy report to Governor Sisolak by December 1, 2020. The executive order is the latest in a series of efforts by Nevada’s state government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the effects of climate change. Earlier this year on March 22, 2019, the State of Nevada joined hundreds of other non-federal actors in the U.S. Climate Alliance and committed to the Paris Agreement. This was followed by an April 22 bill passed by the state that adopted targets for renewable energy, including 50% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% carbon-free electricity by 2050. The most recent action, Senate Bill (SB) 254, was signed June 3, 2019 and directed the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to produce annual report on greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies. The state of Nevada is already experiencing the effects of climate change; Las Vegas, Nevada is the nation’s fastest warming city, with a temperature increase of 5.76 degrees Fahrenheit between 1970 and 2018.
