About 70 percent of people of color who responded to a recent poll said climate change had an impact on their home regions or communities.

Eighty-six percent of Asian American and Pacific Islander respondents, about 72 percent of African Americans and 76 percent of Hispanic voters said their communities had been affected, according to the survey.
