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.

The Clark County Commission voted Tuesday to expand the range personal delivery robots at UNLV may operate in to include nearby public sidewalks.

The robots were previously restricted to university property.

Clark County experienced fewer road deaths during the “100 Deadliest Days of the Year” than previous years, according to road safety advocates. The “100 Deadliest Days” lasts from Memorial Day on May. 27, until Labor Day on Sept. 2. The Road Equity Alliance Project announced that 45 lives were lost in crashes during 2024, marking a significant decrease from the 61 deaths documented in 2023.

Clark County commissioners unanimously voted to expand UNLV's automated food delivery services to extend beyond campus. While the service is convenient, many safety advocates brought up concerns with what the technology could bring to the neighboring campus community.

The last 24 hours have seen several deadly crashes in the Valley. At least one is being investigated as a DUI. As Labor Day approaches, our highways will see some congestion as southern Nevadans hit the road.
