Climate change emerges as priority for black and Hispanic voters. Richard Drew / AP It is a point noted with some morbid curiosity year after year — climate change ranks low on the list of Americans’ priorities.
But this version of the story tends to exclude the concerns of those whose interests are often marginalized at the polls and left out of legislation: people of color. According to the number crunchers at FiveThirtyEight (using data from the Pew Research Center), in 2014, more than 40 percent of nonwhite Americans believe global warming should be a “top priority” for their government, while that number for their white counterparts barely tops 20 percent. This discrepancy may factor in a number of elections this year, especially in some battleground states with significant minority populations where climate change has emerged as a major policy issue.

Sustainable Development - Getting to Inclusive Green Growth. Over the past 20 years, economic growth has lifted more than 660 million people out of poverty and raised the income levels of millions more, but growth has often come at the expense of the environment.
A variety of market, policy and institutional failures mean that the Earth’s natural capital tends to be used in ways that are economically inefficient and wasteful, without sufficient reckoning of the true social costs of resource depletion, and without adequate reinvestment in other forms of wealth. Moreover, despite the gains from growth, 1.3 billion people do not have access to electricity, 2.6 billion have no access to sanitation, and 900 million lack safe, clean drinking water. Growth must be inclusive to be sustainable. Growth also must be environmentally sound.
