Leaders from Nevada’s public and private sectors gathered for the Nevada Sustainability Summit: Upping the Game. This event spotlighted initiatives and pathways to bolster the state’s economy by tackling sustainability challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, and energy demand. Against the backdrop of a nationwide surge in clean energy investments, Nevada has notably thrived since the summer of 2022, benefiting from over $14.5 billion in new clean energy investments and projecting the creation of over 20,000 new jobs. The Nevada Sustainability Summit serves as a platform to celebrate these achievements and explore future opportunities for advancing the state’s sustainable economic growth.

The Nevada Sustainability Summit showcased efforts in the state to grow the state’s economy by addressing these challenges and further strengthen the partnership between leaders in the public and private sectors to achieve those goals.”
