ÐÔÊӽ紫ý is taking action on the environment with the launch of Rebel CAP— a comprehensive climate action plan for the campus - and it contains over 60 sustainability goals.
ÐÔÊӽ紫ý became the first school in the Nevada System of Higher Education to launch a plan to address climate change, unveiling it at a kickoff event on Friday afternoon. Known as the Rebel Climate Action Plan (CAP), the document is a roadmap for how the school will meet its goal of slashing its greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent by 2030 and becoming net zero by the university’s 100th birthday in 2057. Net zero refers to a state where the carbon dioxide ÐÔÊӽ紫ý is putting into the atmosphere is offset with the amount removed, thus not contributing to warming.
