Regional climate collaborative briefs Boulder City on greenhouse‑gas metrics and outreach
Summary
Clark County and consulting partners updated council on the All In Clark County climate collaborative: progress on greenhouse gas inventories, priority metrics, EV infrastructure targets, outreach via paid climate ambassadors and a failed $500 million implementation grant application.
Clark County staff and consultants presented a year-in-review of the All In Clark County regional climate and sustainability plan to the Boulder City Council on June 3, describing inventory results, priority metrics and community outreach.
Robert Bergey, Climate and Sustainability Program Manager for Clark County, and Kim Lundgren, CEO of Kim Lundgren Associates, outlined regional actions including an updated greenhouse gas inventory, priority metrics for vehicle miles traveled and electricity use, and a climate education and ambassador program that reached roughly 18,000 residents. The presenters noted a regional goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 32% from a 2019 baseline by 2030.
The presentation described on-road transportation and electricity as the two largest emissions sources for Boulder City—46% and 33% respectively in the local inventory—and highlighted electric vehicle charging infrastructure targets (over 17,000 Level 2 chargers and 1,000 fast chargers countywide by 2030) to sustain projected EV adoption.
Council members asked technical questions about whether interstate traffic is included in vehicle‑miles‑traveled (VMT) counts and asked for a Boulder City-specific inventory. Speakers said they would follow up with detailed methodology and offered to provide an updated Boulder City greenhouse gas inventory report to city staff.
The presenters also described grant activity: the region received planning-phase funds through a climate pollution reduction grant program (the county received about $1M) but did not secure the larger implementation awards. They emphasized that existing federal and state programs continue to provide funding opportunities for local electrification and efficiency programs.
What’s next: Clark County offered to provide a Boulder City-specific inventory report and to host follow-up technical sessions for council and staff.
