The Nevada Independent

For the more than 40 years he has lived in Nevada, Jose Solorio says political campaigns have never been quite able to truly crack the state’s Latino community. The 65-year-old lobbyist and community advocate is not the first to emphasize the well-worn bit of political wisdom that the Latino community is not a monolith, with voting behaviors differing greatly by their immigration experience, age and Spanish proficiency. But after all these years and close elections, he says political parties are still grappling with this dynamic.

UNLV 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 UNLV is putting into the atmosphere is offset with the amount removed, thus not contributing to warming.
